A Danish classic

This movie is really a classic from the early 80's in Denmark. The fact that most of the actors in the movie are in fact not real actors makes it even more authentic.In the later years, it seems like the movie has sinked into oblivion. Nevertheless, "Midt om natten" (the original Danish title) should be a must in every history lesson about the differences in the Danish society in that period.

Great entertainment.

Marking veteran director Erik Balling's retirement from directing, this old-fashioned, but thoroughly entertaining film, tells the story of two lifelong friends moving into a free-spirited society (obviously inspired by Christiania, the authentic free commune in downtown Copenhagen). Kim Larsen and Erik Clausen both give appealing performances, and despite occasional bursts of violence and unexpected drama, film has an overall innocuous feel to it. Because of an overabundant use of stereotypes in the supporting characters, the film has dated a bit (it was made in 1984), but still hasn't lost its appeal. Raabjerg is very good as the girl who gets between them. Based on Larsen's hit record, released as the soundtrack.
