Smart, Funny, Special...


**** 02.24.09 - Italian For Beginners... 2000... Director Lone Scherfig

I found this film in my quest to learn and see as much of the "Dogme 95" style of filmmaking. It's a style that has shaped how I make films an in this project, Lone Scherfig does a great job of weaving the ensemble cast and their stories into a film you can watch over and over again. Her use of the restrictions, doesn't limit the scope of the film. It's smart, fun and worth seeing if you can get a hold of it.

Made for only $600,000.00 it is one of the most profitable Scandinavian films of all time.
