Some years ago I had this daydream about a book on Nordic genre cinema. I would be cool to have writers from every country to make chapter (or two) on their native cinema. Project like this would get a grant for sure biggrin.gif

Anyways, so what else is there other than Häxan, Reptilicus and Dværgen made in Denmark?

Nothing. A barren land. Dead. Where tumbleweeds live. And we like it that way. 000.gif

About every film Lars von Trier has done.

Denmark even has two post-apocalyptic movies; ELEMENT OF CRIME and ET SKUD FRA HJERTET (by Kristian Levring). Some of the Dogma films are good too, I quite like Levring's THE KIND IS ALIVE.


QUOTE (Review from IMDb and I believe it was written by one Martin Weinreich who also reviewed it for eXtase mag which is put out by this forum's Kinski)
A totally unique film in Danish film history. A post-apocalyptic science fiction film. Only a little more than 3000 people saw the film in the Danish cinemas, but it´s not really that bad. It's a mixture of Italian "Mad Max" rip off´s, Andrei Tarkovsky´s films, Lars Von Triers "The Element of Crime" and Luc Besson´s "Le Dernier combat".

The theme is your responsibility to do what is right, even though you have been ordered to do something else. It's a film which in many ways are very similar to Kristian Levring´s other films. It´s also about isolated people under enormous pressure, and how they react under these extreme circumstances.

This film tries to both be an art cinema film and an action film, but do not succeed completely in any of the genres. But still it´s not uninteresting. The biggest problem with the film is the really bad sound work, which means that the lips are not in sync when the actors are speaking. Steen Jørgensen, the singer of the famous danish band Sort Sol plays the films bad guy "Gule"("Yellow"), but Sort Sol has not delivered any of the music to the film.

A little known fact:
32 of Edgar Wallace's movies are in fact produced by a dane!!! Rialto Film was founded by Constantin Philipsen i 1897 in Copenhagen... In 1955 his son Constantin Preben Philipsen carried on his fathers company as Rialto Film Preben Philipsen A/S... This company also produced the Winnetou-series, My Name is Nobody, A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe, Killer (w. Jean Gabin and Fabio Testi), Flatfoot in Africa, Uppercut, The Serpent (Yul Brynner, Henry Fonda) a.m.o.

Another little known fact:
Ole Olsen (Founder of Nordisk Film in 1906 (the worlds oldest still existing operating film studio)) did the first 'mondo'-movie called Løvejagten (The Lion Hunt) in 1907... He bought 2 old lions, a goat, a horse, some palmtrees and took these + a filmcrew and 2 actors and sailed to a little island called Elleore in Roskilde fjord... You guess the rest: The goat was killed by the lions and both lions and the horse were killed by actor Sergeant Viggo Larsen!! The movie was a huge succes!!!
Ole Olsen died in 1943 and was buried in a barrow which dates back to the bronzeage... The tomb contains the ashes of him and his wife, a part of his art-collection and is until the 5. of october, 2143 sealed from the public!

Pictures from the tomb of Ole Olsens

VAMPYR (1932) was of course directed by Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer.

Yes, I have. It's available for dl from the guy who made it. It's a pretty cool flick! cool.gif

The guy behind it used to do a fanzine (I forget the title).
