...from the way he reprimands petty theft, to his preference of soda water over beer—and the plot seems to percolate with conflict. Compounding the rural-urban clash, Robert is soon sexually propositioned by a married woman, Ingelise (Lene Maria Christensen), who claims that her husband, Jorgen (Kim Bodnia), beats her. What ensues is a love-triangle ripe with violence and unexpected twists. As Robert learns to adapt to his surroundings and situation, he eventually finds himself inextricably mired in the more figurative bog of Skarrild’s crime, revenge, and complicity...
...complicated emotions certainly underscore her character’s actions, Ingelise remains fairly flat throughout the movie. At one point, she mentions to Robert how oppressive she considers rural life in Skarrild, but the passing comment is about as far as she goes in explaining herself. Her marriage to Jorgen seems rife with complexity, as they seem to share both true affection and animosity for each other. But the film never probes beyond the surface of their relationship.

...ready at Maxim's restaurant in Paris. Marilyn Monroe, a devout fan of Dom Pérignon '53, sipped it throughout fittings for the dress she wore to John F. Kennedy's birthday celebration in 1962 and stocked a whole car full for a road trip with Danish paramour Hans Jorgen Lembourn. On the silver screen, its status turned larger than life: Dom Pérignon has been imbibed in movies like Scarface and Charlie's Angels, and its most enduring fan, James Bond, refers to it frequently and reverently. Which is all a monk could ever hope...
...luxury sales on the same street. As Japan's recessionary economy and the appreciation of the yen left other businesses in Japan to watch purse strings tighten and household consumption drop, people continued to wait outside H&M day after day. "I'm totally fascinated by the queuing," says Jorgen Andersson, H&M's Brand and New Business Director. "I think it's the first impression. The challenge is to deliver once the honeymoon is over." Japan country manager Christine Edman says the new thriftiness hitting Tokyo has even helped their low-priced brand. "Sometimes the timing is good...
