Baby
Danish Drama with English Subtitles; Rated R
Popcorn and snacks will be provided. Cost $5 per person.
"Baby"
is an adaptation of Danish author Kirsten Thorup's award-winning first novel,
the gripping tale of rootless young urbanites and their desperate struggle to
find and understand love. The jagged, dynamic narrative portrays their
impulsive, irrational lifestyle, their dilemma as immature adults in a society
whose core values are efficiency and fitness for work. Their hunt for love, sex
and money evoke moving, provocative scenes.
The cast features top Danish actors (Ulrich Thomsen:
"Festen"/"The Celebration"; Jesper Christensen:
"Bænken"/"The Bench" and "Små
ulykker"/"Minor Mishaps"; Maria Rich: "Små ulykker".
Add to that the legendary cult rockers Sort Sol and the result is an
uncompromising, raw, poetic film that both charms and shocks.
