This little Danish movie, The Beast Within, which is a drama with touch of Nordic noir black comedy, has not gotten the recognition it deserves.

The story about the little boy, the son of the local slaughter in a Danish small town, doing his dealings with the grown ups harsh world while he learns difficult words and how the real world really is.

The title comes from his fascination for religion, and that he decides he's a, or rather the, animal-human.

It takes up the positives and negatives of being a kid growing up, trying to understand all crazy human behaviour.

This film is not for kids, but made for grown-ups, but still a film which can be sen of most.

Writer and director Carsten Rudolf. With charming Cyron Melville in the main role ads the kid, is a real joy to watch. Check it out!

Because this is a film for adults with a child as the main character, it has never really got the attention it ought. But actually it´s a very subtle and touching Danish film about a child´s loss of innocence. It was the first film of Carsten Rudolf and won the two main Danish film awards, the Bodilprize and the Robertprize for best film.
