Flickering Lights
AroView: The first of writer-director Anders Thomas Jensen’s Danish crime comedy trilogy starring Mads Mikkelsen, which followed with ‘The Green Butchers’ (2003) and ‘Adam’s Apples’ (2005).
Tarantino and Guy Ritchie are influences, but this sets the template for his distinctive stories of hapless, traumatised and sometimes violent men who harbour ordinary aspirations to go ‘legit’. Here the bickering gang of ne’er-do-wells end up spending their stolen cash on turning their tumbledown hideout in the woods into a country idyll and restaurant.
