SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Mifune, this Danish Dogme-inflected ensemble finds tenderness and awkward humor in ordinary people rebuilding their lives, with an unvarnished intimacy that makes its romantic warmth feel earned.
02
Why this pick
A fellow Dogme 95 landmark, it shares Mifune’s handheld immediacy, family-home setting, and volatile collision between buried history and present-day obligation, though in a far darker register.
03
Why this pick
Its raw, close-up Dogme style and morally messy relationships echo Mifune’s compassionate attention to people whose carefully arranged lives are abruptly knocked off course.
04
Why this pick
This bittersweet Scandinavian ensemble similarly turns a makeshift household into a humane, funny, emotionally bruised refuge for people escaping loneliness, expectation, and personal upheaval.
05
Why this pick
Another grounded Danish character drama, it brings the same unsentimental compassion to a man facing family estrangement and social marginalization, with strong feeling emerging from everyday detail.

01 / THE STORY
Kresten had moved from his parents' farm on Lolland, an out-of-the-way small Danish island, to Copenhagen to pursue his working career. When his father dies, he has to move back to the farm, where nothing much has happened since he left. He places an ad in the local newspaper to get help running the farm and taking care of his retarded brother. The prostitute Liva, who is running away from harassing telephone calls, takes the job. But running away from one's past isn't easy.
