Contemporary Scandinavian Film Classics

12019 Contemporary Scandinavian Film Classics In this series we will look at a spectrum of films that represent some of the finest produced in Scandinavia in the past twenty-five years, including last year’s highly acclaimed Danish film A Royal Affair. The films are: Babette's Feast (Danish)—in a pious and isolated village, two sisters and their community are transformed by the gift of a mysterious refugee; As It Is in Heaven (Swedish)—a famous conductor, forced to retire by illness, returns to the small village of his birth to become the reluctant leader of the local church choir and confront his own attitudes towards life and his music, Kitchen Stories (Norwegian)—an absurd comedy about social engineering run amok; A Royal Affair (Danish)—a romantic intrigue transforms the 18th century Danish court and the subsequent history of Denmark in this lush drama based on true events.
