Flickering Lights (Blinkende Lygter)
Anders Thomas Jensen, whose style has been described as a cross  between Tarantino and The Coen brothers, has pulled a stunner with Flickering Lights,  both shocking and funny, violent and gentle. It's a brand new kind of gangster comedy  about four childhood buddies whose screwed-up crimes turn out to have redeeming  value. Torkild, a bumbling petty criminal, and his accomplices, dispatched by a mob boss  to rob a diplomat, decide to flee with the loot and head for Barcelona. After their van  breaks down in the Danish countryside, they find refuge in an abandoned building. Their  leader, deciding that he's tired of the criminal life, buys it in hopes of opening a  restaurant. Even though his little gang of faithful buddies (who have never really grown  up) has a depressing tendency to fail at all jobs, they unite in the effort and magically,  incredibly, are able to turn their lives around.
