This quirky Danish film is short and undemanding, but thoroughly agreeable viewing. Director-writer Anders Thomas Jensen (The Green Butchers) has created a superb black comedy about an unlikely group of misfits trying to live normal lives as they cope with the tragedies that befall them.

Symbolism and historical analysis made the The Da Vinci Code novel a fascinating read. Pity none of this is in the movie version.

Belgian film L’Enfant, winner of Cannes Film Festival’s coveted Palme D’Or last year, is a subdued and thoughtful arthouse offering, even if its end is conventional and unconvincing.
