Lurid and stylish, this 2008 Danish feature plays like a cross between The Postman Always Rings Twice and High Noon, with a dash of Gothic thriller.

Entertaining and full of surprising twists, this highly cinematic tale of a Copenhagen policeman working punishment duty in the provinces plays with genre in a manner that can be compared with the Coen brothers or David Lynch.

Terribly Happy must surely be the greatest Danish Western ever made.

The characters are intended to be slightly stupid, but the writing isn't necessarily smarter.
