Men and Chicken 15
A darkly hilarious and demented slapstick comedy about a pair of socially-challenged siblings (Mads Mikkelson and David Dencik) who discover they are adopted half-brothers in their late father’s will. Their twisting journey in search of their true father takes them to the small, insular Danish island of Ork, where they stumble upon three additional eccentric half-brothers living in a dilapidated mansion overrun by barn animals. This dysfunctional fairy tale is at once cult-horror and existential farce. Head-spinning, unusual, witty and manic, this is Danish cinema like you’ve never seen before!
