Green Butcher *½
I haven't watched many movies in the past month. I was going to spend the afternoon in bed, nursing a sinus infection, and I recall "laughter is the best medicine." This is a Danish comedy, or that was the intent. It is a very dark comedy about 2 employees of a local butcher who decide they would like to open their own store. Like all employees, they know how to do it better and should be rewarded for their knowledge. Both men have emotional baggage and lots of it. I kept waiting for the laughs. Maybe a few Tuborg's are required to yuk it up.The cinematography is stunning, lots of overhead angles. The plot left me wanting more, a lot more. If you want to hear Danish spoken for 2 hours and a bit of village life, this is the movie for you. I can't recommend it... it wasn't the medicine I was hoping for.
