Red hot Danish director Per Fly's, "The Inheritance." The cream of

Denmark's stage actors fill the key roles in this film which tracks the odyssey of a young man living the good life as the owner and manager of a hip restaurant who also is dating one of the city's most sought after babes, a singer on the verge of stardom.
Then his father, the head of one of the largest steel companies, dies, leaving a void of leadership which threatens to collapse the company and drive his mother and the rest of the family into penury.
I found myself comparing, almost against my will, the rise of this "innocent" young man to that of Michael Corleone... and I'm afraid that Coppola's effort came up short: this is a much more realistic, world-knowing, deeply affecting portrait of the power which power over others has to bend and shape an individual, almost against his will.
Throughout, the director keeps surprising us, usually just when we think a morality cliché is about to be dropped on us.
Highest recommendation.
Don't neglect Scandinavian film: it didn't end with Bergman, you know!
