What's Wrong with This Picture?
2004 · 91 MIN · IMDB 5.4 · 187 VOTES · DIR. Lotte Svendsen
Overview
A snapshot of the state of the Danish nation: in one of the stories, a woman enters a pole-sitting contest in a desperate bid to reinvent herself. Another is about Erik, whose wife has been lobbying a Better Homes and Gardens type magazine to do a spread on their perfect home. When the editors finally relent, she makes Erik sip his red wine in the laundry room lest he stain their cream-colored couches. Svend, the last remaining Marxist in Copenhagen, is the impassioned organizer of a political mass meeting where no one shows up. Finally, Jens, a pizza and porno connoisseur, connives his way to some booty by convincing Gry the model that he lives with his mentally challenged brother. Over the course of a week, their paths cross and nothing, and nobody, is ever quite the same again.

00:03:54 Inge.
00:09:06 Yeah ... I could see where you lived from the receipt.
00:11:52 Isn't it easier if there's someone else who does, too?
00:14:31 "My name is Inge. I have a right to think of myself.
00:18:02 Goodness, Lea.
00:21:45 Yes.
00:24:40 I saw it before anyone else.
00:28:12 But you can help me by handing some of these out.
00:31:27 That was before I began working on my self-confidence.
00:35:15 Be quiet with your racist nonsense. I'm actually a humanist.
00:40:11 I can't. She's coming by tomorrow. - Get out!
00:43:11 Married 3 months and she runs off with some clown from the local bar.
00:46:34 Everything has a reason. - No, it's not that.
00:51:14 You're asleep. You're just sleeping, okay?
00:57:37 It's amazing how meeting you two guys puts things in perspective.
01:00:50 How did you get his name?
01:05:28 I feel more like destroying it. She needs help. Poor girl.
01:09:20 Can you take care of yourself? - Sure. No problem.
01:15:46 Kiwi ...
01:19:20 That's some consolation.
01:22:47 But the train leaves in 20 minutes. - So? There's one every hour.
01:26:32 Yes, he told me. - We've checked. There's only one.
03:00:06 That's good money.
