What a strange film... a very good one, mind you. The cast do great work in this 2005 release. Mads Mikkelsen being the obvious standout - top performance! Ulrich Thomsen doesn't really do all that much necessarily, yet still manages to make a big impact with his showing - amusing, by the way, how much hair can change the way you see someone, that ending is quite the mild cranium contort*! I'm not really all that sold on what the film attempts to tell, but I can't deny that I had a pleasant time watching it all unfold. I wouldn't actually say it features that strong humour, perhaps some of it was lost in translation (Viaplay's subs were iffy in patches), but all that's there is enough. There is one joke at the death that is probably one of the most insulting, hitting both racist and ableist, that I've ever heard - black comedy, I know, I know. Aside from all that, final notes: sound and cinematography - super atmospheric in parts. Would I recommend 2005's <em>'Adam’s Apples'</em>? Ja. <em>*did i find that phrase on google for a more polite way of saying mindf#k - maybe</em>
