EFTER BRYLLUPPET(2006)
"AFTER THE WEDDING"

Back in August I was in Mexico on a bus and I saw this movie. I meant to write the name down, but I didn't and then forgot about it. Today I was thinking about it for some reason and could not remember the name so I googled it, using the words Denmark, Orphanage, India and Movie. I found it, and watched it again. It is definitely not your cheesy, make you laugh and feel good film, but depicts some of life's most depressing moments in a way that you will truly feel it. It is not overbearing like most films which use excessive music and displays of emotion, but does so in a way that makes it more real and believable. It was done by Susanne Bier and was up for an Academy Award which it didn't win (It went to the German film, The Lives of Others). It was produced by none other than Lars von Trier's production company, Zentropa.
