Dark Horse

Daniel writes on walls, does not look for work and does not pay his rent. His closest friend is Grand: big, quiet, and set on becoming a football referee. In a bakery Daniel meets a girl called Franc, who runs from attachment at least as hard as he does. Meanwhile Daniel is taken to court over the graffiti. The judge hands down the sentence and then walks out of the courthouse and abandons his own life. Nobody in this film wants to grow up, and at some point all of them have to. Dagur Kári directs the Danish film; a hundred minutes, in black and white, with Jakob Cedergren as Daniel and Nicolas Bro as Grand. Kári is an Icelandic director who made this one in Copenhagen, in Danish.
