St. Bernard Syndicate (2018)

St. Bernard Syndicate: Directed by Mads Brügger. With Frederik Cilius Jørgensen, Rasmus Bruun, Flemming Sørensen, Vibeke Manniche. Subversive satirist Mads Brugger’s latest is an odd-couple comedy about the pitfalls of striking out into the economic frontier; it charts two hapless Danes’ scheme to sell Saint Bernards to China’s middle class.

“I really liked it, it was a refreshing movie in a world of full of hyperreal fakes and imaginary. I liked it possibly for the same reason many people didnu0026#39;t like it that much. Everything in this movie was just depicting something that could easily be the actual reality without any form of exagerration, the main characters werenu0026#39;t any close to perfection, they werenu0026#39;t good looking, or super successful nor did they posses something supernatural. They were just… very ordinary people with a business idea, that also didnu0026#39;t really want to catch on. It showed struggling, real struggling the way ordinary people struggle in a wold where it is so difficult to get ahead without connections. The characters were so awkward, as well as the scenes that it was excellent. The characters werenu0026#39;t introduced as something special, which is why it was so relatable and this is something we miss out of our lives, we are aiming to create a world full of imporvements on reality that we all start to believe we are so special, and this movie, for a change showed the exact opposite of that idea. There wasnu0026#39;t a familiar way of a story line, either. It just kind of went with the flow, which is unusual with the Hollywood generation of movies. There wasnu0026#39;t really a so called special element to this movie yet it still managed to be entertaining wihout any forced humor that the outcome was excellent. It felt real, no comedy themed movies Iu0026#39;ve watched ever managed to do that.”
