Captivating movie !
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
"Nu" or "Now" is a Danish/Swedish half-hour short film from over 10 years ago. It is black and white and the good thing for audiences is that everybody can watch it as there is almost no dialog in here, so you will not even need subtitles. The writer and director is Simon Staho and he got help with the script by Peter Asmussen, the writer of von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark". The cast includes not only Mads Mikkelsen who I am a great fan of, but also Persbrandt, Josephson and Moritzen, all actors with a truly respectable body of work, who belong to Scandinavia's finest, even if they may not be too well known outside Northern Europe. Unfortunately, the script here fails to build on this good basis of a cast. I was never really entertained watching this gay-themed film. It is certainly fairly atmospheric, but the story never achieves greatness or even goodness. Disappointing to me and I do not recommend the watch.
