Just Another Love Story

Film noir from Denmark. Anders W Berthelsen plays Jonas, a disenchanted family man and crime scene photographer who falls for a stunning amnesiac heiress as she recovers from a car accident. Pretending to be her ex, Jonas finds himself in a situation he can't control when her real ex, the diamond smuggler Sebastian, shows up.

Kevin Maher, the Times: [Director Ole] Bornedal's movie is slick and arresting, and proves again to Hollywood that mature genre film-making is thriving on this side of the Atlantic (indeed Sam Raimi's remake of the movie is set for a 2011 release). But even so, there is little that is genuinely original here. (Verdict: 3 stars out of 5)

Wally Hammond, Time Out: It kicks off with a mysterious pair of shootings, one in Denmark, the other in a crummy Thai hotel, which the film then proceeds to explain in jigsaw fashion. 'Beautiful women and mystery' are a man's incentive to escape the nine-to-five routine, kids and the Saturday shop, explains Jonas in voiceover. His is an unusually dramatic philosophy for an ordinary guy, one that threatens to disturb the film's credibility. However, Berthelsen's excellent low-key acting keeps disbelief suspended.
