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.

00:00:48 WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
00:03:48 Take it easy, Inger. Bye.
00:08:20 Oh, Kiwi, bad boy!
00:11:33 If only I had a boyfriend ...
00:14:10 "No, I won't. I have to think of myself." Repeat.
00:17:27 I think I could use a glass of milk.
00:21:16 There's no limit to what I've persevered.
00:24:12 It hurts, but not for long. Sit down here.
00:27:21 Do you still have that? - Yes.
00:30:17 A beginner, huh? Don't worry, I had problems with the ladder, too.
00:34:07 I just wanted to say hello to my old school buddy.
00:39:07 I'm not sure if I can call her just like that ...
00:42:00 Besides, I think we sent flowers from legal aid. You must have met a ghost.
00:44:40 He doesn't have the authority.
00:49:21 Gry has told us about your situation. It can't be easy.
00:53:52 Yeah.
00:59:04 Super! - Need a hand?
01:02:15 ls it okay if I go into town and take care of some business?
01:06:30 I'm getting a little nervous about you, so please let me in. Bye.
01:12:03 Not that I care. I'm very against those tough immigration laws.
01:16:57 I thought, what the hell, a little fresh air can't hurt.
01:19:47 If we leave it, then all this is really meaningless.
01:23:00 Shut up! Shut up!
01:27:58 Hi, I'm Asta from Better Homes & Gardens.
