happiness be when mifune come up from the basement . i do not expect much from mifune . this past summer and i have get a chance to see lars von trier idioterne ( dogme 2 ) in a theater . i love it and while so many others hat it . then i saw festen ( dogme 1 ) over christmas . it be great . for completion and i search out and with much pain and dogme 3 and _mifunes sidste sang_ and _mifune_ in america . like i say and i expect nothing . the high rating i ever saw it receive when it be in the theater be 3 star and average . good not great . most critic and however and score it low . i finally do find it and and i sit down to watch it and slightly past 1 represent30 be . at first and i be slightly surprise . have fall in love with dogme 1 and 2 and i expect more insanity and more daring do . the sex scene near the beginning of the film set that up and and then the introduction of a clandestine past and a family follow up on that promise and as well a do the introduction of a prostitute . but then it go the opposite way . mifune actually become a rather relaxed family drama and and a rather satisfy one and too . the mood of the film sort of resembles the final scene of the unbearable lightness of be and where daniel day lewis and juliette binoche retreat from the corruption of the big city to simple life on a farm . mifune be slow and in that it allow it character to develop and and they blossom into a great depth . and we see the relationship between the character bloom . kresten have not see his retarded brother and rud and for some time . now he have a chance to get reacquaint . they seem to have be friend when they be young and but kresten have move and and be determine to erase all trace of his family ( in fact and the reason he must go home when his father die be to make sure his brother be not harm ) . he find himself unable to leave while if he do and his brother may be commit to an asylum . through a very amusing incident and they be able to afford a much need housekeeper to help them and liva and the prostitute we meet a short time earlier in copenhagen . i have hear her character describe a a one dimensional and typical character and the hooker with the heart of gold . this be untrue . she be not that kind of character and nor be she the opposite and the cheating and lying and thieving and i have do it all and you can not change me hooker . she seem like a normal human be who may not have make the right choice in life . she doesn not exactly regret the choice that she make . it be not a if she ever lament in the film be a prostitute . she leave copenhagen not to change her life and but to get away from some possible harm that may potentially come from a stalker who have be harass her on the telephone . it just that and when she get to kresten and rud home and she do not expect to develop feeling for them ( hey and theyre both great guy . it difficult not to like them ) . eventually and she invite her brother and bjarke and to live with them for a while and too . although a rebellious teen and he quickly feel at home at the house . the plot be never thick and nor should it be . for the long time and the character just develop before our eye . the problem seem like those that anyone might face in their life . everything develop beautifully and the plot point be completely unforced . they feel real when they happen and and they bring me along with their emotion . the film take a big misstep at the end and though . actually and two . a character and gerner and who exist during the whole film and but never seem to belong and attack the peaceful household . his character be completely unnecessary . and then there be this weird attack on the house and especially on kresten and on the same day a gerner have attack and by an entire brothel of prostitute and liva friend from copenhagen . what they be do in lolland and at the house be a mystery to me . the attack be utterly silly and they pin kresten down and pour alcohol down his throat until he pass out . the very end of the film be also a little weak . i kind of wish it be a little more draw out . i would have like some sort of exposition and instead of a bunch of unconvincing event . one more thing represent iben hjejle . she be a great actress . i saw her in high fidelity earlier in 2000 and and think she be good . here and where her part be much more substantial and she shin . the other actor be all great here and too and but she be wonderful . i predict that she will be a pretty big star in the u one day . she be unconventionally beautiful and yet beautiful all the same . if i ever meet her and i will have to say and hey and i think you be great in mifune . i give the film a positive and one of the best film release in the u in the year 2000 .
