Genre
Comedy Drama Romance
We get Danish folk comedy with the cultured wife, who would rather have traveled by a CO2-friendly train as opposed to her boat-necked husband, who wanted to fly.
We get more refined comedy tones à la Woody Allen, where a suburban woman from Hvidovre transforms into a flamboyant femme fatale.
There is also the theme of aging without fading. Truth-seeking scenes out of a marriage with lies and Latin. A rather old-fashioned slapstick farce with a race against time. And an ending that questions the film's facade of feel-good.
But fundamentally, it's a charming film with an inciting Bodil Jørgensen, who gets better and better with age. Kristian Halken and Rolf Lassgård also give solid performances, and one is drawn to Rome, with all the clichés that come with it.
