A plump and exuberant monk goes fishing, and a playful fish eludes him. First the monk uses a rod and reel, then a net; over and over, he ends up fish-less and wet. Sleepless, he tries luring the fish at night with a bank of candles. He tries a bow and arrow. The tireless and insouciant fish leads the monk through a viaduct, over irrigated steppes, across cisterns, down canals. Suddenly, the monk’s chase and the fish’s teasing flight become a spiritual journey.

Year: 2010
Runtime: 1 hour, 38 minutes
Country: Sweden | France
Language: Swedish
Subtitles: English | Finnish | Serbian (.srt) & Polish (.txt)
Genre: Comedy | Crime | Music | Romance | Thriller

Director:
Ola Simonsson, Johannes Stjärne Nilsson

Fredrik Myhr … Myran
Anders Vestergard… Anders
Johannes Björk … Johannes
Sven Ahlström … Oscar Warnebring

Plot/Synopsis:

The narrative revolves around police officer Amadeus Warnebring, tone-deaf scion of a distinguished musical family, and his attempts to track down a group of six guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city. The drumming set pieces correspond to an avant-garde score with four hilariously titled movements. Where the short involved the six drummers imaginatively using standard apartment furnishings as their instruments, the feature unleashes them on an unspecified city’s civic and cultural institutions. Including an amusing backstory for each of the soberly dressed drummers as well as their nemesis, music-hating investigator Warnebring, the film creates a treat for the eyes and ears from the dull, repetitive sounds of everyday life.

Driven by a restless urge to conquer new women, use them, and throw them away, he has hired his friend Leporello to help create a masterpiece: A filmed database of all the women whose dreams Juan has shattered. We follow Juan and Leporello through 24 compressed hours. Juan seduces the young upper-class girl Anna, but ends up accidentally killing her father, a powerful police commissioner. The two friends run away, but Juan’s constant need to seduce new women keeps interrupting their flight. As the police gains in on them, Juan also steals the young bride Zerlina from her groom Masetto, and soon a feverish manhunt is on for Juan.

JUAN is director Kasper Holten’s take on Mozart’s timeless masterpiece “Don Giovanni”. In this contemporary cinematic version we follow Juan – a celebrated artist and notorious playboy through an endless stream of conquests and betrayals of women. By ruthless exploitation of innocent females, Juan wants to turn his love life into a megalomanic work of art. His restless appetite for life and sex drives him onto a destructive path, to a point where he realizes that if his life is a work of art, then there is only one way to finish his masterpiece. ~ Trustnordisk

A lot of them think that one of Vászoly’s son, András should become the future king, who is forced to stay in Kiev. András is about the get married to the daughter of King Jaroslav, Anastasia, when he hears about the uproar against Peter of Orseolo. He goes back to his homeland, supported by Kiev forces to fight Peter, but suffers a humiliating defeat, since both the Emperor and Rome fails to fulfill their previous promises to send troops helping his cause. Yet, out of the blue, he is unexpectedly helped out by the so-called “black hungarians”, descendents of the old tribal leaders, commanded by his brother Levente and Vata, who ask from András the right to practice their old religion in return for their help. András gives his word, but not much later is forced to forsake with vow to gain the support of the imperial and papal forces, too, thus betraying Levente and all the people who supported his victorious fight. Hell is on the loose, the Hungarians of the old ways are hunted as prey. Suffering from bad conscience András is roaming in the Pilis forest to find Levente hoping to explain himself and the reasons for his actions. He doesnt know that unwillingly though, but he also leads the Royal Guard to his brother’s hiding place. But Shamaness Rasdi, wife of Levente performs a miracle and leads her forsaken people to the mystical Land of the Light. Only Levente stays behind to claim the Ancient Sword of Power to himself from the undeserving András.
