I've always found Jørgen Varnæs and Gitte Graa's relationship very interesting, and in many ways very sad. Gitte of course is a very modern and free spirit, and it is unlikely that she would even call her and Jørgen an item, but Jørgen however is a very interesting and sad character. He is doomed from the first episode, and we witness how he gradually sinks deeper and deeper into the hole he has dug himself. The actors Susse Wold and Bent Mejding who play these two, are married in real life, and their on-screen chemistry is electric. The picture above is of course from the famous fighting scene, which is strongly inspired of the play 'Private Lives' by Noël Coward, which Wold and Mejding have also played together.

Review: WE SHALL OVERCOME - by Matthew Tilt

Director: Niels Arden Oplev

Starring: Janus Dissing Rathke, Anders W. Berthelsen, Bent Mejding

Verve Pictures (Out Now)

We Shall Overcome could have easily become a brattish, clichéd tale of childhood rebellion but with sensitive scripting from Steen Bille and Niels Arden Oplev, and simple, strong direction from the latter this is an incredibly uplifting watch, shying away from melodrama when telling this true story.

Janus Dissing Rathke is excellent as Fritz, showing a surprising amount of maturity in a performance that needs a lot of emotional input as the story covers many emotional cruxes; from the mental illness that afflicts his father to the rapid growth in maturity and awareness under the tutelage of a new music teacher (Anders W. Berthelsen).

The story focuses on a particularly violent beating Fritz suffers at the hands of headmaster Svendsen (Bent Mejding), a man who refuses to accept growing levels of reform within the Danish school system. Mejding is suitably authoritarian but peppers the performance with a series of ever more defeated looks, creating a man who, by the end of the film, we still feel sympathetic for. He is after all only trying to do a job.

The era is portrayed wonderfully; both through the brilliant soundtrack and the use of Martin Luther King speeches. You really get a feel for the excitement and change that dominated the 60’s, especially through Berthelson’s energetic performance as the rebellious teacher, but the struggles and priorities take forefront, with difficult decisions showing how drastically some of these changes affected careers.

The only downbeat part comes at the end. Call it what you will but there’s something disturbing about the unadulterated joy the children show when news of Svendsen’s death is announced. After creating such an excellent character it verges on disrespectful, especially since this is based on a true story, but it’s a minor issue that hardly snags this excellent coming of age tale.

Weil Jonas sich mitschuldig fühlt am Autounfall von Julia, sucht der brave Familienvater die im Koma liegende junge Frau im Krankenhaus auf und wird dort von ihrer Familie für ihren neuen Freund Sebastian gehalten, den sie auf einer Reise durch Asien kennen gelernt hat. Erst unfähig und später unwillig, das Missverständnis aufzuklären, hilft Jonas der aus dem Koma erwachten, aber unter Gedächtnisverlust leidenden und nahezu erblindeten Julia, zurück ins Leben zu finden. Und er verliebt sich in sie. Alle Warnungen in den Wind schlagend, geht Jonas ganz in der Rolle des Sebastian auf, verlässt Frau und Kinder und lebt fortan mit Julia zusammen, die schwanger ist. Doch dann, in einem idyllischen Haus am Meer, taucht eines Tages ein Mann auf, der sich Jonas nennt, und Julia erinnert sich mehr und mehr daran, wer Sebastian wirklich
