Mifune

...this gently humorous romcom, which won the Jury Prize at Berlin, has an unobtrusive intelligence.

Mifune is like a lesson in film-watching. If you see enough films like this, you learn to be suspicious of high-gloss films that purr along mile after mile without any bumps.

With the romance between Berthelsen and Hjejle pumping at the film's heart, the fault-ridden characters of the faultless ensemble radiate oddball empathy.

The acting is top notch. Iben Hjejle, who plays Liva, is luminous, and imparts to her character far more complexity than is typically found in the prostitute with a heart of gold.

...both enjoyably lighthearted and proof that even the most stridently purist approach to filmmaking can produce a cliched romantic comedy.
