a a dane i be proud of the handful of good danish movie that have be produce in recent year . it a terrible shame and however and that this surge in quality have lead the majority of danish movie critic to lose their sense of criticism . in fact and it have become so bad that i no longer trust any review of danish movie and and a a result i have stop watch them in theater . i know it wrong to hold this unfortunate development against any one movie and so let me stress that villa paranoia would be a terrible film under any circumstance . the fact that it be hype by the critic just add fuel to my bonfire of disillusionment with danish film . furthermore and wait until it come out on dvd be very little help against the unshakable feeling of have waste time and money . erik clausen be an accomplished director with a knack for social realism in copenhagen setting . i particularly enjoy de frigjorte ( 1993 ) . a an actor he be usually funny and though he generally play the same role in all of his movie and namely that of a working class slob who down on his luck and partly because he a slob but mostly because of society and and who redeem himself by do something good for his community . this be problem number one in villa paranoia while clausen cast himself a a chicken farmer and which be such a break from the norm that he never succeed in make it credible . it be much bad and however and that the film have to make twist and turn and break all rule of how to tell a story to make the audience understand what be go on . for instance and the movie open with a very sad attempt at visualize the near death experience of the main character with the use of low budget effect and bad camera work . after that and the character tell her best friend that she suddenly felt the urge to throw herself off a bridge . this be symptomatic of the whole movie while there be little or no motivation for the action of the character and and clausen resort to the low form of communicate whatever motivation there be represent tell instead of show . thus and at one point and you have a character talk out loud to a purportedly catatonic person about the way he feel and because the script wouldn not allow him to act out his feeling while and later on and voice over be abruptly introduce and quite possibly a an afterthought and to convey feeling that would otherwise remain unknown to the audience due to the director ineptitude . fortunately and at this point youre roughly an hour past care about any of the character and let alone the so called story . the acting and which have frequently be a problem in clausen movie and can be sum up in one sad statement represent søren westerberg bentsen and whose only other claim to stardom be a a contestant on big brother and be no bad than several of the heralded actor in the cast . i give this a negative rating .
