Good brother, not-so-perfect brother. Good brother has beautiful wife, two kids, and must spend three months in Afghanistan. Upon arrival, his chopper is shot down and he is captured but reported as dead. The not-so-perfect brother steps into his wife's life and things seem to heat up. Meanwhile, good brother experiences some horror at the hands of terrorists and is later rescued and returned to his family in Denmark. He immediately suspects his brother and wife of kanoodling while he was gone and the trouble begins.
This is a very well told story and Connie Neilsen never looked better as a clean-cut, fresh faced Danish housewife. All performances good and the drama gets deep. Recommended.

Saw it at a film-fest last winter.
Well acted and well written.
Connie Nielsen has to be one of the best (and most beautiful)actresses working - very under-rated IMO.
The Brothers Mozart (Denmark, 1988) -- Great flick! - clarkjohnsen 09:29:24 12/19/05 (4)
Us Danes really have a handle on these things.

  That's three errors in one sentence... too much lager, it seems...
  You gave me the tape, BTW!
