In this charming and offbeat romantic comedy, six lonely Danish singles discover amore while taking an Italian-language adult-education class. Anders W. Berthelsen, Ann Eleonora Jorgensen, Anette Stovelbaek, Peter Gantzler., Six strangers learn Italian and fall in love. Clumsy baker Olympia carries a torch for lonely pastor Andreas. Timid, impotent Jorgen pines for Catholic Giulia, while his foul-mouthed friend Halfinn conducts an explosive affair with hairdresser Karen. Black comedy romance., The Dogma 95 movement has seen some searing looks into the human condition but rarely a romantic comedy — until now. Veteran Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig spins this deadpan look at a group of lovelorn outsiders living in a grey corner of Copenhagen. After the perennially foul-tempered minister of a local church is fired after doing great injury to the organist, Andreas moves to the area to take over the parish. Staying in a hotel until his predecessor can be wrested from the rectory, Andreas befriends the establishment’s scatter-brained manager, Jørgen, who is utterly in love with a beautiful Italian barmaid working at a nearby pub run by Hal-Finn. When the irascible Hal-Finn is chastised by the bar’s owner for his unkempt appearance, he goes to a local salon where he meets Karen, a comely hairdresser harried by her grasping mom. Meanwhile, Andreas falls for a lethally klutzy pastry shop assistant named Olympia. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival., Anders Berthelsen, the new minister at a church in a Copenhagen suburb, befriends the local hotel manager (Peter Gantzler), who’s in love with the barmaid at Lars Kaalund’s bar. Kaalund in turn is entranced by hairdresser Ann Eleonora Jorgenson while Berthelsen falls for Annette Stovelbae who works in the local pastry shop… Lone Scherfig is the first woman director to make a film, as her delightful romantic comedy uses naturalism to track the intertwining lives of a disparate group facing life and love and all the accompanying wonders and woes.
