      A little masterpiece

      A fantastic movie. One of Malmros greatest (and that say a lot) Its a wonderful comedy, with a dangerous undertone. The incest-tema is just a little melody, who is near to came out, every time. A brilliant film, who it will be a shame to revealed to much about.

      Interesting

      Looking on the fact that the movie is from 1983 it is very good and real of it's age and take an important topic for a matter. The jealousy from the father is very natural when the wife is in the hospital and can't give any advice on how to treat a young woman. It is interesting to watch how they get along. I've watched it more than once, but every time I see a new psychological question in my mind. It is worth the time, but don't watch it if you have a hard time watching jalousie in a father-daughter relationship.

      • Trivia
        Jesper Klein, who plays the father, never liked so much this movie, even though he got a Bodil Award for his role. Director Nils Malmros explained, "When I work with children who are not actors, I am very controlling, even more than I would normally be. I had to behave in the same way towards Jesper and after three days he was about to stop." However, the actor chose to stay because of an acquaintance with one of the photographers on the film.
