Lasse (Anders Schoubye) is an easygoing, somewhat raffish boy. However, when his mother leaves his not particularly ambitious father for a well-to-do dentist, she takes him along. For some reason, he decides to play along with the expectations of his new family, and becomes a clean-cut boy and a model student. Eventually, though, the siren song of his father's less rigorous ways draws him, and the two are soon back together, listening to Elvis records while Lasse's father plays the harmonica. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

When a doctor sets up his practice in a new town he is drawn to the case of a mentally disturbed daughter living with her mother in a mansion on a hillside above the town, a daughter who believes she has murdered her father, even though the father was said to have committed suicide. As the doctor works with his patient, he finds that a wealthy, powerful local man and the town's police are trying to keep him away from the issue of the father's death. Did the rich town magnate actually murder the father? Did the mother? Why is the daughter convinced that she killed her father? These questions get a little buried in the imagery that crawls to the finish line, evoking poetic symbols but skillfully evading the dramatic proposals raised at the beginning of the story. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This Scandinavian film features the escapades of four children and their faithful dog as they set off to go camping and end up trying to extricate themselves from a lowlife scam. This film has been dubbed in English. ~ Iotis Erlewine, Rovi

A nice family man and a pillar of a small Danish community (Per Buckhøj) creates quite a stir when he is caught smuggling a "dirty" book into the country after a trip to Paris. The book winds up circulating among the indignant citizenry, some of whom (and a few less secretly than others) suddenly obtain a new outlook on life in general and their sex-lives in particular. Tame by modern standards but hailed as a pungent satire on hypocrisy and Christian morality in it's day, Adam Og Eva marked the second film of Erik Balling who later reached legendary status as the creator of the Olsen Banden series of heist comedies. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
