Danish on a Sunday: 'In a Better World' and 'Europa'

Twice a month – on the second and fourth Sunday – we screen a Danish classic or a highly acclaimed new production with English subtitles (if the film isn’t already in English). Tickets are 65 DKK (40 DKK for members of the Cinematheque). In February we're showing Susanne Biers Oscar-winner 'In a Better World' and Lars von Triers 'Europa'.

In a Better World

Susanne Bier's 'In a Better World' won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, 2011. The story traces elements from a refugee camp in Africa to the grey humdrum of everyday life in a Danish provincial town. The lives of two Danish families cross each other, and an extraordinary but risky friendship comes into bud. But loneliness, frailty and sorrow lie in wait. Soon, friendship transforms into a dangerous alliance and a breathtaking pursuit in which life is at stake.

Date: 12th of February at 2.00 pm.
Venue: Cinemateket, Gothersgade 55, København K

Europa

Lars von Triers 'Europa' won the Special Jury Prize as well as the Technical Prize at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival. In 1945, just after germany's surrender, Leo, a young American of German descent, wants to be of help in the old Fatherland and signs on as a sleeping car conductor with the Zentropa Express company. He soon finds himself turned into a pawn between the power elite and Nazi terrorists gone underground.

Danish also means Danish pastry

Before each screening, we have a special offer of a coffee with Danish pastry (or a piece of cake) at Restaurant SULT. It costs only 40 DKR extra.
