De grønne slagtere (2003)
 
Review
Danish film is
certainly still buzzing, and here comes Anders Thomas Jensen with
another expertly written, highly absurd story about a couple of young
butchers and their anything but ordinary methods. Jensen, the penner
behind Tarantinoesque movies such as I
Kina spiser de hunde og Gamle mænd i nye biler
(among others), has this time opted to implement a less traditional (but
hardly less morbid) criminal path for his protagonists. The result is a
wonderfully bizarre tale of two, at their best, social misfits
– brilliantly portrayed by Nikolai Lie Kaas and Mads Mikkelsen. Jensen
constructs his movie with a great sense of progression, but his visual
flair is perhaps even more astonishing; he creates a dense atmosphere
soaked in an aptly coloured green palette. De grønne slagtere is
another verification that Danish cinema is one of the most creative at
present.
