Good soundtrack, some cool visuals, and Bro really chews the scenery...but is it a comedy or a horror? The first 45 minutes build up to these horrific actions but they;re punctuated by other's reactions. So it's a wry comedy that takes a while for the shoe to drop? Or is all the body horror that starts happening then supposed to be a transition from horror to comedy? Do I even care? Probably not. It's nice and short though, skips along despite the rest of the film being a symbolic slog.

As much as I appreciate Boe seeing Bro as his Muse, he is usually the part I enjoy the least about his films. He is fortunately not as load-bearing here as in Offscreen, and the movie is actually a surprisingly even and horryfying experience, and as always extremely beautiful, but this beast needed more flesh on its bones.

To my own surprise I actually found this very entertaining. It's laughably pretentious and Nic Bro is way over the top but that's all fun stuff. I enjoyed watching him clowning around as a megalomanic beast (clever, huh?), especially opposite the cool, down-to-earth Lie Kaas which really makes Bro look like a fool. And then there's all the gory Zulawskiesque expressionism which is also fun in a 'this is way too sick and needless'-kind of way. All in all a nice little comedy.

If this films pictures hadn't been so damned beautiful, it would've fallen completely through. Notice that Boe accomplishes to give his slow motion shots of a snowy Copenhagen a 3D-feel that is much superior to real 3D. The rest, though, is sorry. Nicolas Bro is really bad, the film is disgusting and the story uninteresting and badly written. A pure struggle.

Most pretentious movie of the year? You know something's way off when Nicolas Bro acts like he's in a high school horror play - equipped with equally bad lines. Boe hasn't made a truly great film since 'Reconstruction', but this is disturbingly bad.
