FILM SYNOPSIS

Winner: Young Cinema Award: 2006 Venice Film Festival
Winner: Best Actor: Danish Film Critics Association 2006 Bodil Awards

Nicolas Bro reigns supreme in the role of Nicolas Bro – a man intent on making a film about himself. His friend Christoffer Boe lends him a camera and tells him to record everything, a remark which Bro takes a little too literally. His constant filming succeeds in driving both his wife Lene and his friends nuts, and when Lene finally calls it a day and moves to Berlin, Nicolas – driven by the thought of getting her back and filming the entire process – begins his inevitable descent into disintegration. His self-monitoring is so hair-raisingly private (and creepy) that it becomes impossible to separate fact from fiction.

"We are extremely happy to be bringing this title to Fantastic Fest this year. Nicolas Bro, a character actor in my undisputed FAVORITE film of last year ADAM'S APPLES, cuts a huge swath across the screen. With an unfathomably personal performance that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, Bro is tragic, uncomfortable, and swings from incredibly funny to incredibly brutal within seconds. Imagine MAN BITES DOG crossed with the incredible gut-wrenching TV JUNKIE. If you aren't up to speed on Danish cinema outside of Lars Von Trier, please come and check out this film. The Danes are the new kings of genre filmmaking." (Tim)
