Mellem os

I saw this Danish short film at The European Film School Festival in Bologna this November, where it won the Main Prize as "Best European Graduation Film 2003". There where almost 30 gradutaion films from all over Europe in the competition and the level was very high. But "Mellem Os" (Tra di Noi) was the most funny and suspenceful film of them all and I think it was well deserved that it won the festival. See it if you can! It's so funny! Alesandro Botta

I viewed the danish film "Between Us" at the Student Oscar Screening the other day, along with the other screenings of this years American Student Academy Award winning film. It was definitely the best of them all!!! (...I also loved the animation "S.P.I.C.").

This is really a perfect film; Sexy, funny, intelligent and very surprising! And the actors are SO good!...I think it's very well deserved it won the Foreign Student Academy Award!...i hope it will be screened again some time. Thanks from LA!

I saw the Danish film "Mellem Os" (Between Us) at Uppsala Short Film Festival and I think it deals with the subject of infidelity in a very different and unexpected way. Maybe it's too big a theme for such a short film (35 min), but I think because it tells the story with a lot of humor it actually works very well. Also up and coming Danish actress Helle Fagralid does an excellent job in this film - she is truly talented! I may have preferred another actor in the role of Adam but otherwise I think the production is very supportive of the story. Heard it was shortlisted for a real Oscar and then some rule prohibited it from participating due to it having been shown on TV??? Too bad! It stood a good chance!

Of course, as a screenwriter who has himself co-written Laurits' next film, the feature 'Ambulancen', I'm probably completely biased on my take of his work, but one thing's for sure: Laurits enjoys a tight set-up, uses the constraints for the story's own good, and has a wonderfully cinematic eye, even when portraying everyday situations such as a dinner party in an apartment. Thanks to the plot's surprises, the bubbling charm, and the excellent scene design in 'Between Us' ('Mellem Os'), Laurits and his collaborators have created a tight, sassy film full of style and seductiveness.

It comes highly recommended!

Good short movie with stupid ending... so it seems that gf is banging bf's brother who is married. so he invited them to dinner and exposed , and then brother's wife n that bf had revenge sex next room. wife left husband . its over for them. but that bf came home next morning and got back together with gf? ... nahhhh. cheating /adultery always ends bad and it always destroy any relationship. once a cheater always a cheater.
