Just Another Love Story (2007)

"Just another love story" brings us the story of Jonas, who is involved in a car crash and soon mistaken for the victim's boyfriend when he tries to ease his conscience during a visit in hospital. Unable to clear things up, he more and more learns to like his new role and uses it to break out of his otherwise boring life. When Julia starts to remember some things of her past though, the harmless game could potentially become quite dangerous for Jonas.All in all I really liked the general mood this movie creates. It has the sinister and rather dark look that is typical for Northern-European movies. The different twists are carefully woven together, so that everything adds up in the end without getting too obvious. There are indeed a few aspects you could call at least unlikely, but that is the problem of any film trying to create several plot twists, events will most likely never appear all too likely.All in all this is really a strong movie within its genre. If you like a high level of tension and some mystery spiced with a little social criticism or just Northern thrillers in general, this could be the film for you.

If you think the title is ironic, you'd be 100% correct. This is as unconventional a romance as it comes... as a bored, frustrated father of two witnesses a crash, where a beautiful young woman is injured. Suffering from amnesia, he puts his morals aside by pretending to be her boyfriend... fooling her family and leaving his in the process. What he doesn't bank on though, is the girl having a DARK AND MYSTERIOUS past which is about to turn around bite her (and him, by implication) in the... posterior. Ouch.Full of more twists and turns than the world's biggest chute, where the movie also scores is the superb direction... especially when two tense scenes are juxtapositioned (look it up, word fans) together. The acting is also on point, with each performer wringing every last drop of emotion and tension out of the material. And like the best suspense dramas, they talk to each other like REAL people, not cardboard cutouts from a pulp novel. Overall, the best import from Denmark since streaky bacon. Sorry, I'm not a Man U fan... 7/10

Honest, moving and pointing at all of us. We have all had the dream of being able to fly without falling down. I was hit in the head by a helicopter. Hitchcock meets Bergman in an intelligent thriller about an ordinary family man who gets caught up in his dreams and fantasies. A devastating drama.Bornedal never makes the same film twice. I keep following his work; he is a creative lighthouse in the usually dark and small Scandinavian film arena.Thankyou.

Ohh my god.. i think this is one of the best danish movie since "accused" and "adams apples".... This movie was exiting and i love Anders w. Bertelsen and Nikolaj lie Kaas.... AND Special I REALLY LOVE DEJAN CUKIC!! The 3 greatest actors in Denmark! I also think that Ole Bornedal did an amazing job with this movie.. it is so much better then "the temp".. the girls performances in the movie are also good.. but its Anders who really lead this movie.. in the beginning the movie is funny, but then it change, and suddenly it is this exiting thriller, an you almost forget to breath.. you really think about it after you have left the theater.. and you just can't get it out of your head. I really recommend this movie.. :D
