“Tingleff, Tingleff or Tingleff” is the show where one of Denmark's sharpest stand-up comedians combines jokes, storytelling and the big screen into a well-told story based on life's many choices and the eternal question: ”What if?” What if the young Tingleff had never left his hometown of Kollund, but instead married his high school sweetheart and got a real job? Would he have been happier? Or the opposite? What would life have been like if different choices had been made along the way? With his usual daring, Tingleff fantasizes about the paths he never took in terms of lifestyle, relationships and political beliefs. In this way, the audience meets a total of three Tingleffs - the real Tingleff and two that never were, but could have been.
I hope that more people will see Joyland, understand the situation, and eventually change themselves and society so we can have a more accommodating world where everyday tragedies like the one depicted in the film do not occur.
A man struggling with the death of his son agrees to coach his former high school basketball team.
Portraying how easy it is to be an ally heavily benefits the majority audience. The more we encourage it, normalize it, and give people the tools to become one, the sooner we can co-exist peacefully.
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.
The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
