Lykke-Per

I can't remember a movie I have enjoyed as much as this one. It had everything I love in a movie. The love story, the characters, the settings were amazing,I will think about this movie for days to come.

An intricate examination of the relationships of a man-child with vision and genius coming out of a family which lacks both in a stratified society. Powerful emotions are conveyed through the main character's conflicted attempts to find belonging and the frustrated attempts of those attracted to him to bestow inclusion. The settings and cinematography are excellent. An extremely engrossing story with top notch performances. I noticed the soundtrack during my second viewing. One of the best I have heard. It deepens the experience of the characters and their situations. Mr. August has delivered a masterpiece.

A turn of the 19th century tale of a young man from a strict religious upbringing yearning to find himself while fighting his internal demons. Per Sidenius (Esben Smed) goes to Copenhagen as an engineering student with hopes of taking Denmark into the new century with plans to turn solar and wind into new energy sources. His personal conflicts cause strife professionally and romantically as he pushes those close to him away. Beautiful cinematography and with many fine performances make this a classic you won't forget.

The story of Per Sideneous, a son of a Danish preacher with strict piety and rural upbringing. As most of you know, I've family in Denmark and can relate to this telling Danish take of an engineering student that brought Denmark down a very different path to energy and prosperity. Today Denmark boasts of enough energy to supply themselves with plenty left over to share with Germany and it's neighboring countries. Their on cutting edge of wind and save energy that surpasses anything American ingenuity has imagined. This is a wonderful take of a preachers son and tumultuous task of supplying an unlimited energy source for a nation! Enjoy, and I've read much into this tale and take on our own family Tyler Winship and how youth transcends crusty old way thinking you see! Cheers, Uncle Murf

There is more than one reason to see this capturing drama. I would however top the list of virtues praising a story and script that very convincingly shows how people's character drives success or failure sometimes in an inevitable way. One can not just overcome the weaving of childhoods upbringing especially the one uprooted by strong and authoritative parenthood. It doesn't matter the chances and great opportunities one gets if inside you there is an oxidative soul. This entertaining film is a hard look at the inheritance of family values and micro culture. A mind is also the family character within. In this movie there is also a marvelous love story that yearns to uplift and become long breathed and at the end of the movie there is a very contrasting light and dark eclipse of conclusive moments. There are so many emotions packed in its 2 hours. So much to learn about our human psychology.
