Vinterbrødre

Emil is a very dark and aggressiv young adult that work at a limestone mine on the Danish island Zeeland. He dont respect autority and his careless behavour ends up causing harm to his co workers.

His attitude take his down a very dark path and this is his story told.

This is not a movie that will leave you feeling good so if you have bad day and want a movie that will cheer you up, stay away from this one.

The acting is very good so its an absolute worth watch movie.

From what I understand the title winter comes from the limestone dust that makes everything around it white year around.

The characters and story are so inneffective, and the pacing so irritatingly drawn out and tedious, that it quite literally would have been less dull if they were to have actually filmed real miners working for two hours in the same visual style. Ultimately this film is just an excuse to have nice looking images. That is fine, the visuals are nice, but I don't feel as if I gained anything from the film in that regard that could not have been acquired from watching the trailer.

A beautiful film that truly left me speechless! AMAZING

Everyone has a little darkness inside, they just may be too boring to know it. While brothers Emil and Johan are accustomed to the constant roar of rock crushing machines, relentless and filthy mining work, bone chilling cold and foul air, they have different coping mechanisms. Johan merely shrugs off the bleakness and monotony. Emil goofs off and routinely slips into a moonshine induced fantasy world revolving around their pretty neighbor Anna, rifle skill training videos and stealing chemicals to make moonshine. As the brothers argue about who has a better grip on reality, unexpected events threaten to loosen the hold that either of them have upon the truth.

This dark, surreal and wacky film alters and toys with our senses and perceptions of reality. Churning machines, explosions and blaring alarms, for instance, remove us from the comfortable cocoon of sounds that we are used to and transport us into an alternate universe. The experience is jolting, yet also enriching. It would make Kafka smile. This is what stories are supposed to do. Film actors are up to the task. While the limited setting gets tedious after a while and the dialogue could be improved, the film is intriguing and refreshing. Seen at the Toronto International Film Festival.

I took it off after thirty minutes, that felt like an hour.

Both the sound, the acting and the story it self suck.

There are so many good Danish movies. Watch one of them Instead.
