Rose

RATING: 4 "SOFIE GRÅBØL DOES THE ROLE OF HER LIFE. ROSE TOUCHES, MOVES AND RAISES THOUGHTS. IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE ENGAGED" Aftonbladet

In the fall of 1997, a tourist bus rolls out of Aalborg with Paris as its destination. Among the passengers are Inger, her sister Ellen and her brother-in-law Vagn. They have barely reached the motorway when Inger loudly makes herself known to everyone. Or more precisely... she and "Rose", Inger's other personality. Particularly enlightened about her struggle with mental illness, some in the group react with sympathy, others with disgust. Regardless, the entire group is drawn into Inger's fates and misadventures, which reach their climax in Paris. Now it turns out that she has a hidden agenda with the trip - the outcome of which may be the explanation for why she has become who she is...

Sofie Gråbøl from the TV favorite Brottet plays the role of her life in this audience hit. In a wonderful Danish style, the film manages to mix seriousness with humor in a way that makes it as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Niels Arden Oplev, who has based his story on his own sister's trip to Paris, is responsible for direction and screenplay. Oplev is best known for the blockbuster Men Who Hate Women, which won a Guldbagge for Best Film.
