A rare good comedy in Denmark

This film greatly changed my view of Danish comedy. Although there is still suspicion of preaching, I prefer to see it as a more philosophical film, which is especially suitable for people to watch when they are in a daze. What attracts me the most is the sense of the lens inside. Each lens has a deep meaning and works well with the music. Of course, characterization is the most successful. Characters that seem to be exaggerated can actually be found in everyone. The nervous priest, the indifferent appearance and the tenderness of the neo-Nazi boy...From the expression of narrative and sense of humor, it has to be called a grotesque comedy.

Also we humans. If the game of chess had undergone the same development as humans the queen would be in front, the rooks would be crooked, and the pawn would be the main piece. We no longer know who we are and this rootlessness...
