Product: After The Wedding (Despues De La Boda) [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
A story of truth, misunderstanding, control and resignation
How can a story with a wedding, a reuniting and a humanitarian be dark and depressing? In that wonderful Danish film way, that's how. There were moments I thought I knew exactly where this movie was going. I was wrong. No tidy endings--and no dismissing it as solely bleak either. Once again, Mads Mikkelson leads a strong cast in a story that lets us see how the same man can be both strong and weak, both caring and distant. A compelling film with the ability to make a person think about the meanings of family, obligation and relationships.
