Adam's Apples (2005)

Simply A Masterpiece

just watch it!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Weird Danish film. Sub–titled. Danish doesn't sound like anything in English.Man, I thought we Swedes were dark. A Neo–Nazi is paroled to the custody of a devout Lutheran Minister. The minister brags of his prior successes with a drunken rapist and a hardened armed robber, who continued to stay with him after their paroles and rehabilitation. He asks the Neo–Nazi to set any goal. The Neo–Nazi jokingly suggests he'll bake a pie from the apple tree when they are ripe. The Neo-Nazi thinks the minister is delusional and decides to break him. The minister thinks every problem is just a test from the devil.Normally black humour isn't funny, but we laughed till tears repeatedly. A character gets a massive bullet wound to the head, and the doctor said, "That's what we call a Half–Kennedy."

Adams æbler is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I have seen quite a few. Awkwardly, even though it forced me to acknowledge that my personality has an intently merciless side which I didn't know existed (meaning laughing at things you are not supposed to laugh at) I found the dark humour and absurdity of the film thoroughly refreshing.Every little scene, every conversation, every piece of music in this comedy-ish danish drama is spot on. The acting is superb and the performances are even more powerful due to a relatively small amount of characters. Anders Thomas Jensen does not spell things out for you: you are free to think what you want about religion, stereotypes, unwavering optimism or criminal behaviour. He does not judge his characters, he doesn't even take them too seriously and the result is still a surprising, incredibly entertaining piece of art which crawls under your skin and doesn't let you go for days.I recommend it to everyone who appreciates original, provocative, inventive but still digestible art or all in all likes European filmmaking. I don't recommend it to people who tend to dislike unconventional stuff or cannot take in politically incorrect, dark humour.

it is comedy. but its root id deep and bitter. it is a moral lesson but in a special form. it is version of Job story but the details and the way to say it is almost unique. it is picture of new Raskolnikov adventure but the character is not exactly Dostoyevski product. touching, delicate, strong. a kind of poem, half-kind of fairy-tall, the Adam apples is demonstration of inspired acting. sure, Mads Mikkelson is not a surprise, but the nuances of measure, the wise science to transform each detail of priest character is impressive. and Ulrich Thomsen gives a great testimony about fight of evil. it is a very good film because it is out of ordinaries traps. not sentimental , cruel but nice, religious but page of humanist message, delicate but precise, game of delicate problems but bright. realistic but poetic. a really interesting work. and exercise for respect of measure in a special subject case.

I honestly haven't seen a movie like this before...quirky, dark, moody and sometimes violent...Adam's Apples had me tied in knots by the end of the movie! What I am discovering about Danish film is that you actually get to know all of the characters and their quirks...then, most of the story evolves around how the individual characters interact with each other.Strange as it may seem, I could relate to each and every character and how they dealt with what life threw at them...even the doctor was weird but interesting.I can't express enough how fantastic this movie is...if you are curious about Danish Film...watch this first!
