BEN HAMILTON

TONY BENNETT’S 85. Eighty-five! He should be at home looking after his petunias, complaining about his bunions, and voting for the American equivalent of the DF. But instead he never stops gallivanting around the world, and when he’s not selling out concerts (see G6 for details of his concert at Tivoli), he’s putting on exhibitions of his paintings, some of which go for as much as $80,000 apiece. Many might think this greedy, but as one of his rivals said, he’s paid his dues and this is his time to shine. He’s the last of the crooners – a genuine living legend from a bygone era when big band singers dominated music in the days before rock and roll. Taking you a little further back in time, to the dawn of Prohibition in fact, is the biggest TV series of last year, Boardwalk Empire (see G20 for details), which is curiously making its Danish bow on TV3 Puls, a channel you

would normally more associate with reality television. Some of the programme and scheduling choices beggar belief, but if you’re patient, most big UK and US TV series will be shown, eventually. Normally, though, it is an arduous journey, like with US comedy series Bored to Death, which finally made its debut when the first two series were shown in their entirety by TV2 Zulu on a Sunday afternoon. You’re much better off watching Swedish television, and while it’s true that a small percentage of houses cannot receive the freeto-air channels, it’s amazing how people you speak to make the same claim. If you haven’t tuned them in, it’s highly likely you can, although my reception does tend to suck badly until 9pm. Elsewhere this week, we have a weekend planned out for you if you happen to be a Francophile (see Museums Corner on G8), details of a city centre Spanish wine festival that tends to get a bit lively (see G3), and the annual reptile fair (see G9), which also includes mammals, arthropods and amphibians, so really it’s more ‘anything that moves’ than reptilian. It’s inclusive of Tony Bennett then, who will aptly move you with anything he sings.

CASPER BALSLEV

Virtuose trin (Virtuosi Steps)

Gamle Scene, Kongens Nytorv, 1055 Cph K; starts Fri, ends Oct 15; performances at 20:00 on Fri, Sat, Thu, Oct 10, Oct 13, Oct 15; tickets 95–595kr; introduction 45 min before every performance in the balcony foyer; www.kglteater.dk AFTER THE RECENT premiere of the Danish signature ballet La Sylphide, the Royal Danish Ballet continues the focus on its heritage. A triple bill takes the audience from 19th century choreographer August Bournonville via George Balanchine to a 20th century piece by Harald Lander. There are not many countries that have developed their own national ballet style and tradition, but Denmark is one of them. The choreographer responsible for the world-renowned Danish ballet heritage is August Bournonville. He was a ballet master at the Royal Danish Ballet from 1830-1877 and during that period created more than 50 ballets for the company. About a dozen of them have survived in the repertoire and been performed by the Royal Danish Ballet ever since. Bournonville’s pieces fall into the romantic period half a century before classics such as Swan Lake, Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty were created in Russia. While the Russian ballet is explosive and full of high lifts and other acrobatic movements, Bournonville’s Danish style is characterised by an elaborate footwork of many quick small steps and a lively expression. The three choreographies that make up Virtuose trin (Virtuosi Steps) can all be traced back to the influence of Bournonville’s graceful ballet style. Bournonville Fantasy, the evening’s first piece, is a study of the choreographer’s technique and his exercises, which are still part of the daily training regime at the Royal Danish Ballet. Principal dancer Thomas Lund and artistic director Nikolaj Hübbe have assembled training steps into a choreography to provide the audience with a glimpse into the Danishstyle lessons. The piece features 12 male and 12 female dancers and explores Bournonville’s use of different steps to fit his view on the gender roles. Even George Balanchine, co-founder and acclaimed ballet master of the New York City Ballet, was inspired by Bournonville. Balanchine’s salute to the Danish style is noticeable in his Donizetti Variations, the second part of the

Performance Tosca

Store Scene, Operaen, Ekvipagemestervej 10, 1438 Cph K; starts Sat, performances 20:00 (unless stated) on Sat, Mon, Wed, Oct 8, Oct 22, Oct 24, Oct 26, Oct 28, Nov 4, Nov 7; tickets 95-1,045kr; 160 mins incl break; www. kglteater.dk The new revival of Tosca at the Royal Danish Opera House is a great, gothic success. Sex, death, and jealousy permeate this stripped-down, but highly moving presentation of Puccini’s classic opera. The set design by Karin Betz and lighting design by Jesper Kongshaug capture the dark atmosphere of Tosca. Each of the three acts features colourco-ordinated lighting, with deep reds or dark blues bathing the stage to match the emotional musical cues of the orchestra and opera singers. BF

Etudes, a one-act performance, begins at the handrail - something to hold onto in the dark

triple bill. Donizetti Variations premiered in 1960 and was created for the New York City Ballet as part of a programme for the Italian unification’s centenary. When one of the most eminent ballerinas of the 20th century, Suzanne Farrell, danced the piece, she called it “fast, lighthearted and technically demanding”. The choreography is set to music from the opera Don Sebastian by Gaetano Donizetti, although there is no connection between the ballet and the opera’s plot. The composer Donizetti was, like Bournonville, active in the mid-19th century and achieved particular acclaim for his earlier opera Lucia di Lammermoor. If Bournonville set the standard for the Danish ballet tradition in the 19th century, then

The Bollywood Trip

Republique, Store Scene, Østerfælled Torv 37, Cph Ø; starts Thu (Oct 6), in Danish: 6 Oct–12 Nov, in English: 29 Nov–3 Dec, performances: Tue-Fri 20:00, Sat 15:00; Tickets 200-325kr; www.republique.dk Bollywood’s flying dancers, magical images and gorgeous music has landed in Denmark. The Bollywood Trip – which includes performances in Danish and English – is a dramatic love story (as if we’d expect anything different from Bollywood) at a hospital where affairs between the staff flourish. Psychiatric ward patient Harron, meanwhile, has a split personality and thinks he is one of India’s biggest Bollywood stars. The Bollywood Trip epitomises the best of east meets west - with choreography from British-Indian Gauri Sharma Tripathi, music from Danish composer Stephen Grabowski, and performers from both India and Denmark.

Harald Lander’s take on it dominated the 20th. Or, as the Royal Danish Ballet’s director, Nicolaj Hübbe, writes: “For a Danish ballet dancer, Lander’s Etudes is almost like the national anthem.” For Lander, Etudes was the piece that brought him international recognition. The one-act ballet begins with exercises at the barre (the handrail used during warm-up exercises) and develops into extensive bravura steps with which the dancers take over the whole stage. Like the two other pieces, Etudes has no narrative – it concludes an evening of celebrating the Danish ballet style with its sheer beauty. FRANZISKA BORK PETERSEN EW

Dansehallerne, Pas- N teursvej 20, Cph V; starts Thu (Oct 6) at 20:00, Oct 7-9, 15:00 & 20:00, Oct 12-16, 15:00 & 20:00, Oct 19-21, 20:00; Tickets 120kr, discounts for groups; www. cph-dancearts.com How is Denmark in terms of corruption and integrity? Are we really champions of anti-corruption, or is it just something we think we are? Dancers from Russia, Australia, USA, Finland and Bulgaria have come together to present an ultra-physical performance on the theme ‘corruption’. The show is part of ‘Kick Backs - a festival of corruption’, focusing on issues such as nepotism, abuse of power, lobbying and whistle blowing. Running from 6-21 October, workshops will also be held, focusing on a new issue each week. The topics covered include the Danish political system, corruption in the private sector, and how corruption in Demark compares to other nations. EM

Enetime og Sylfiden (The Lesson & La Sylphide)

Gamle Scene, Kongens Nytorv, 1055 Cph K; starts Sat, ends Oct 7; performances at 20:00 on Sat, Mon, Oct 7; tickets 95–595kr; www.kglteater.dk La Sylphide is the only tragedy in August Bournonville’s repertoire. He liked his happy endings, but since this story was not actually his own, he did not have a choice - thank god for that! Because it is the most heartbreakingly beautiful story you will ever see. Along with Flemming Flindt’sThe Lesson, these two ballets are among the most important works in the repertoire of the Royal Danish Ballet, so if you feel like the backbone of your basic ballet knowledge is a bit wobbly, this is the perfect double bill to fill in those missing parts.

Spain. From the traditional classics to the newest and wildest flavours, guests will have a unique chance to drink their way across Spain right here in Denmark. Organiser Thomas Svensson is enthusiastic about the future of Spanish wine in Denmark, contending that its interest in Denmark has been growing in recent years due to its comparably low prices to other European wines and delectable varieties. “Spanish wine has been - and still is - in the shadow of French and Italian wines,” he said. “They are currently going through a big development from the known heavy Rioja wines to very delicate and tasty wines.” Participants this year need to make sure they check out the new initiatives at the festival: the Cava Bar and Master Classes. Sponsored by the Spanish Cavainstitut, the Cava Bar will host more than 15 different cavas. Cava - similar to champagne - is a high quality sparkling wine produced in the Catalonia region of Spain. The Codorniu, Freixenet and Segura Viudas among a handful of other cavas will leave taste buds dancing with their light and bubbly notes. A master class on cava will be presented exclusively in English, while all of the other master classes will be in Danish.

Experimental artists and art movements, like the Fluxus movement of the 1960s, inspired the images. They are somewhat obscure in nature and feature the artist in strange situations, such as digging a useless hole in the ground or hiding beneath a paving stone. The result is a comical and surreal body of photographs. Gudmundsson also works in painting, sculpture, performance, and installation, and viewers can see elements of his work in other media in his photography. BF

Tony Bennett

Tivoli Concert Hall; Wednesday 20:00 Tickets 585-790 kr www.billetlugen.dk www.tonybennett.com “There are lots of great entertainers and artists in the world. Every once in a while a certain performer comes along just blessed with a destiny: Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Hank Williams. They go beyond success, they become immortal.” When speaking these words back in 1994, Tony Bennett was not eulogising about himself (but rather his surprise guest star k.d. lang waiting in the wings), though long into the speech he certainly had the audience guessing: “What’s with the shameless self-flattery? He’s supposed to sing.” Relieved that the crooning grand old man, then 68 (now 85), had not lost his sense of modesty, the crowd applauded all the harder and seemed to appreciate the joke. But in all seriousness, Tony Bennett is not just anybody – there’s no doubt about that. A living legend and self-made man, the Italian-American Grammy Award-winning singer certainly made his mark on the 20th century, and eleven years into the new one told The Guardian: “I’m never going to retire. I have too much to learn.” How many people could go on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as Bennett did in 2006, perform a signature song and then tell the host that this brings back memories of performing the same song on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1962? Literally going from ‘Rags to Riches’ (as his song puts it), Bennett has been around the block. No wonder the Jay Leno performance of ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco’ brought back memories. The song was released as a B-side but amazingly spent a year on the charts, notably the pop singles chart, and achieved gold record status. “That song helped make me a world citizen,” Bennett later remarked. “It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life.” Earlier this September, former US president Bill Clinton introduced the timeless, ageless Bennett at a benefit performance in New York City. The next day’s reviewers praised his “undiminished vocal skills, his vibrancy and his physical spryness”. The set-list that comprised mostly classics felt “utterly fresh” thanks to the singer’s unique interpretative skills. In Bennet’s own words, he has been bound for ‘The Good Life’ (another song likely to be showcased in Copenhagen) since a life-changing incident during the Great Depression. As a ten-year-old boy in a family with no money, Bennett was in the room when his mother, a seamstress, accidentally pierced her own finger with the needle of the sewing machine. In his autobiography, The Good Life, he reflects on the moment: “It was then that I made up my mind to become successful enough so that my mom would never have to work again.” Suddenly a man on a mission, Bennett had no time not to think like a winner. His first number one popular song, ‘Because of You’, was still 15 years in the future; however, this was 1936 and things looked bleak economically. But young Anthony Dominick Benedetto knew how to sing and managed to find work as a singing waiter in several Italian restaurants in Queens, New York. “Italians have it in their genes to excel in music and art,” he has later explained. Back in the US after wartime service in Germany and France – during which he narrowly escaped death on several occasions – the stars were finally aligning for something really big to happen. Post-war America with its unprecedented opportunity for the talented to make it was a great atmosphere for a young artist just starting out. Of course, distracting phenomena – such as the British Invasion in the 1960s and the disco revolution in ‘70s – had to be weathered. But Bennett’s determination to never sell out has paid dividends. Worldwide interest in his work has surged over the last two decades. Last week he released album number 65, Duets II (not counting at least 18 compilations). It features 17 artists, from Andrea Bocelli and Willie Nelson to Lady Gaga and the late Amy Winehouse. The Danes are fortunate that Bennett is a musical legend who believes in touring. And the master of show-tunes and jazz, and major contributor to the Great American Songbook, deserves no less than the Tivoli Concert Hall. He can count on facing a grateful and hospitable audience.

Store Vega 21:00; 230 kr Emerging in 2003, the Danish rock-duo – consisting of Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo – offer a loud, guitar-based rock sound, and have grown to become one of Scandinavia’s greatest musical exports. A tendency to lay it on heavy with effect pedals, catchy vocals and flamboyant on-stage bravado used to be their gag. But, the duo is fast becoming a shadow of the act that Rolling Stone called one of the most exciting up-and-coming artists of the 21st century, circa 2005. Although the future is looking bleak, the band have no problem selling out arena-sized venues – presumably bought by fans still enamoured by their original material. (English) DvdN

The Rock; 20:00; 150kr One of the darkest metal groups to have emerged out of Norway – a country with a long-established rich underground death and black metal scene – 1349 offer a raw industrial sound that is loaded with power-chords, high-octane drum solos, and grating vocals wrenched from Olav ‘Ravn’ Bergene’s soul. Both visually and musically, 1349 epitomise black metal and are at the forefront of the cult genre. The band’s performance at Roskilde was well-received and those looking to flash the devil horns are advised to put on their best black outfit and head to tonight’s show. (English/Norwegian) DvdN

Jazzhus Montmartre; 20:00; Free Adm As part of a new innovation launched by the Montmartre, a selection of native and international jazz musicians have been invited to host their own DJ night over the next coming weeks.

Tonight, American jazz pianist Rachel Z will be behind the decks playing some of her inspirational records to a crowded house while guests will be able to wine, dine, and perhaps even try one of the Montmartre’s Mad Men cocktails.

Review Fat Freddy’s Drop HHHHHH

September 22 Store Vega

escribing the New Zealand band Fat Freddy’s Drop, National Public Radio host Guy Raz once said: “Take the swagger of Jamaican dub, throw in a little Memphis soul and send it halfway down the globe, and what comes back? The band Fat Freddy’s Drop.” Last Thursday marked the end of the band’s three-month European stint, and they went out in style in front of 1,300 loyal Danish fans at Vega. This was the third time the band has rocked Copenhagen and credit is going to the venue. “We love Vega, it’s such a great place to play a nice intimate show” Joe Lindsay, the band’s trombonist/ tuba player told The Copenhagen Post. It appears the band have kept a firm hold on their loyal fan base here ever since their stellar Roskilde performance in 2006. Last year they filled Vega to the bursting point and gave a memorable performance in the storied venue. This year the crowds were hungry for more and Freddy’s gave them what they were after. Drawing on old favourites like ‘Shiverman’, they also test-drove some new tunes. “It’s a block of structure

Frankie Teardrop: ‘90s Shoegaze + Britpop Night

Fri 23:00 Ideal Bar, Vega; Free Adm A place where nostalgic hipsters can convene and sit back with an alcoholic beverage in hand while wallowing in the pity felt in Pulp’s repertoire, dance along to Blur’s ‘Chemical World’, or even sing along to the likes of Oasis, Suede and Stone Roses. There was nothing quite like ‘90s Britpop and thankfully there is now a night in Copenhagen - that is becoming increasingly popular by the week, in fact - devoted entirely to one of music’s finest sub-genres.

New Zealand’s national treasure is fast becoming a jewel in the hearts of Danes too

and the rest is just let’s see what 1,300 people think of it- we’ll know by the end… we’ll keep doing that with the tunes over the next series of gigs and figure it out, so it’s the audience who to a degree lets us know what they like so we can then take that into the studio and turn it into an arrangement,” Lindsay said before the show. The seven-piece band are known for creating their own genre. Typically dubbed ‘roots’ or ‘reggae’, the winning style results from a unique mix of el-

ements. Where else can people see a brass section mixed with an electronic DJ, a keyboard, a guitar and a rapper thrown in for good measure? Although some critics are rating last year’s performance slightly better, the improvisation this year was on top form. Nine minutes into a song and you realise you’re still on the same one. It’s the journey the band takes you on as they bust out mystical electronic dub, then hit you with the blast of a trumpet while the keyboardist switches tempo.

But the boys just say they’re just staying true to what they’ve always done – giving a great live improvised performance. “That’s the core of what we do,” keyboardist Iain Gordon told us. “That’s how the whole thing started, and that’s why we still aim to be musicians and aren’t bored stiff it’s because we can improvise, and every night we do something different rather than just play what you know”.

Headling a distinctly Berlin-flavoured line-up, Höppner is one of the most influential figures in the underground techno and house scene today, and partly responsible for building up the city’s infamous reputation as one of Europe’s most desirable techno-scenes. ND_Baumecker, now also a Berliner, has been a part of Germany’s evolving house scene since the early ‘90s, and his style continues to oscillate between the eras, bouncing back and forth from minimal to maximal, from house to disco, and from techno to electro. daniel van der noon

Top tips for Francophiles IS YOUR HEART beating for France and everything French? Is the hole in your pockets telling you that you cannot afford a trip to Paris? Despair not. Kulturklik will be guiding you on how to enjoy a weekend in Copenhagen with a multitude of French experiences, art and culture. Bon voyage!

Strong espressos and news in French Digest Fauvism at ‘Den Franske Bogcafé’ on Fiolstræde, where you can enjoy a well-brewed espresso and a delicious madeleine while reading Le Monde or browsing through some of the many French books, which are for sale.

FRIDAY:

SATURDAY:

The avant-garde elite Start the weekend with a visit to the National Gallery of Denmark (Sølvgade 48-50, 1307 Cph K) where you can experience the French collection that includes paintings, sculptures, drawings and ceramics from one of the most colourful and exuberant periods in the history of art. The base for the exhibition is the artists’ mutual affiliation for Paris where they each contributed to the blossoming of the art scene between 1900 and 1930, and scandalised the dyed-in-the-wool bourgeoisie with their abstract and expressive works. At the National Gallery of Denmark you will strike up an acquaintance with the French avantgardes elite: Picasso, Derain, Braque and especially Matisse, who has a whole floor to himself, in which you can follow his artistic development. If you happen to visit the National Gallery of Denmark before February 19 2012, you will have the chance to experience Toulouse-Lautrec who threw himself into portraying the entertainment scene in Paris’s bohemian district of Montmartre.

Á la the pomp and the splendour of the Sun King Get out of the city and go north to Hillerød where the Danish counterpart to the magnificent castle of the Sun King, Château de Versailles, is situated. The Museum of National History (Frederiksborg Slot 10, 3400 Hillerød) holds the most extensive renaissance grounds of the Nordic Countries. Notice the splendour of the castle’s décor; nothing was economised in its making, as it was meant to accentuate the power of King Christian IV, and make an everlasting impression on the European monarchs. The beautiful castle gardens of Frederiksborg Castle are in themselves worth a visit and the presentation of those gardens will make your mind wander off to Versailles. Here you can experience a symmetric baroque garden that is perfect for a promenade worthy of the Sun King, and a more natural version where you can be a royal in a more relaxing manner, like Marie Antoinette who used to play at being a milkmaid with her subjects.

SUNDAY: Petite ballerinas and voluptuous Tahiti women At Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (Dantes Plads 7, 1556 Cph V) you can gain insight into some of the French painting and sculpture traditions of the 19th century. The founder of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Carl Jacobsen, was a great admirer of the sculptor Rodin and ordered works directly from the master’s hand.

Unlike most lizards, geckos are born without eyelids. To keep their eyes from drying out, geckos lick their eyeballs with their long tongue. Think you could do that? Give it a try! 2. Kingsnakes are known as reptile royalty because they eat other snakes. Although a couple of drops of rattlesnake venom could put you or me on life support, to a king snake it’s like barbeque sauce. 3. Most reptiles shed their old skin several times each year, and leave them behind. But you’ll never find a gecko’s old skin, because they eat it before it falls off, in order to retain the nutrients! How’s that for an afterschool snack? 4. Many turtles and tortoises live for more than a century. Of course, if you’re the type that jumps on the nearest chair when a spider’s in the house, then I’m sure you’ll have better places to be this upcoming Saturday. Because this is the day on which all manner of creepy-crawlies take over - be it slithery snakes, repellent reptiles or spooky spiders – the Rødovrehallen venue in the western suburbs. Personally I am more than happy that the fair is called the Reptile and Terrarium Fair, which means the reptiles, mammals, arthropods and amphibians - no matter their shape or size - will be in cages

R&B, country, gospel and soul music. They’ve recorded with Willie Nelson, Van Morrison, Rosanne Cash, and performed for President Bill Clinton. (Their recent album release, Feed My Soul, is a tribute to Wendell’s successful battle with cancer.) If you have to choose between the gigs, spring for the extra 150 and go to the gospel concert for an atmospheric reminder of the blues’ sacred origins. As an extra bonus, it includes well-regarded Danish tenor sax Anders Gaardman. Reverend Shine Snake Oil Co Mojo; Sat 19:00; 70kr The Reverend’s sound combines swing, R & B, and a dash of Afro-American gospel. Claudius Pratt, a former New Yorker who now permanently lives in Denmark, is the hyperkinetic lead singer/dancer, delivering soulful tunes in a unique package, sometimes gyrating to floor level. Reverend Shine Snake Oil Co is well known around Copenhagen, and if you’re lucky, will get as wild and woolly as they have at other performances. Fried Okra Band Metromomen; Sat 16:00; 60kr Not just for their clever name, but for their very cooking performances and style, also check out the Fried Okra Band - which despite their title are a Danish group - at Metromomen on Saturday for just 60 kroner.

Spiders and snakes: for some people a test of nerve, for others dinner

(the terrariums) and not crawling wild! The fair is held once a year and is a great place to buy and sell your reptile stock, buy accessories, whether it’s terrariums, books, or LED lighting, or just make new ‘creepy’ friends that you can hold and cuddle – from boas and geckos, to tarantulas and poisonous snakes - if that’s what turns you on. The fair is also a great place for general learning, and it works actively to erode prejudices against reptiles and the people who choose to hold them as pets. At the fair you can talk to both fellow owners, various organisations and vets, who are ready to give specialists advice about these abnormal pets and their needs.

2. Reptile pets are generally speaking great pets for children, not wanting too much responsibility as they are low maintenance and feeding time can get interesting especially with friends over. However, depending on the pet, you decide the level of excitement of feeding time! Think gecko vs. python! 3. Having for example a snake as a pet is a fairly cheap deal, as they do not eat often. Most snakes needs feeding only once a week and some even less. 4. Having a tarantula as a pet serves a great educational purpose for children the right age, and can trigger a healthy interest in wildlife. And think about all the flies you will get rid of!

So let’s end as we started with another top four, this time of the benefits of keeping reptiles as pets: 1. Reptiles are perfect pets for the allergyplagued family as there are no concerns about fur, and they are generally low maintenance pets.

So if you thinking of bringing home a new smooth or hairy member to your family, have a look inside the house of the eight legged, scaly freaks this Saturday, and find out all you need to know.

BY SIMON COOPER

SPRING may be long gone, but how many of us make use of the year-round availability of spring onions anyway? What’s more, how many realise that spring onions are, quite literally, onions that have sprung (out) and can therefore be grown at home as easily as mould on a clammy carrot. In these days of thrift, maybe even growing shoots of green salad vegetables at home can represent a saving - who knows? - though when I started experimenting with basic growing techniques this summer, I realised the year-round supermarket trade, although blurring the boundaries between vegetable seasonality,

Restaurants $ $ $

Restaurant Kiin Kiin Guldbergsgade 21, Copenhagen N; 3535 7535; fourcourse menu 450kr, sevencourse 775kr (with wine menu 1450kr); www.kiin.dk There are only two Thai restaurants in the whole world that have been awarded a Michelin star. One of them is in London, the other one is Kiin Kiin, which you will find in the heart of Nørrebro. And it is well deserved. PDR Kiin Kiin isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience, a place where every little detail is thought through. PDR 1. th. Herluf Gade 9, 1052 Cph K; 3393 5770, 1th@1th.dk; www.1th.dk; 1,250kr per person 1th. is a gourmet restaurant with a twist. Tucked away behind a hard to-find-door on the first floor to the right of a typical Copenhagen apartment, the restaurant is based around the concept of the dinner party with guests stepping into what appears to be a private apartment and then being utterly spoilt by their hosts. The monthly set menu costs 1,250kr and has a whopping ten courses and you can tell them in advance of any food quirks you might have and they will personalise the menu for you. Terrific food, friendly and attentive service and a unique setting. CS Reinwald’s Farvergade 15, 1463 Cph K; open Mon-Sat 14:00-24:00 (kitchen closes at 22:00); 3391 8289; www.reinwalds. dk; five-course menu with wine 850kr, other dishes 75215kr Serving lunch and dinner, a director’s-script length of choices confronts you at. It’s a who’s who of classic French and French-inspired Danish dishes as well as a monthly set menu. Any chef would be proud of this. SC

has enabled the chefs among us to experiment more freely as and when we want. As far as nurturing your own, spring onions - along with herbs, tomatoes and chillies - are a very basic first step. If you’ve got space outdoors and are planting spring onions from seedy scratch then you’ll really have to wait until March next year to plant; however, a couple of these bulbs in a pot on a windowsill, with the right light and water level, will break into spring onions within a couple of weeks. With the method below, you’ll want to position your bulbs in a place where they receive a little light - watering it is important though. $ $ $

Cap Horn Nyhavn 21, Cph K; open Mon-Fri 10:00-00:00, Sat-Sun 09:00-00:00; 3312 8504; starters from 99kr, main courses from 139kr, desserts from 39kr; see www.caphorn.dk for special events Nyhavn, the old harbour, is an idyllic area of magic and hygge what the Danes like to say when referring to anything that is cosy, charming, or delightful: all qualities Cap Horn has in abundance. Its simple menu boasts a fine selection of organic, homemade Danish fare, with a touch of seasonal influence. There were too highlights: the veal, pumpkin, mushrooms and potatoes with amazing truffle sauce (a ‘best ever veal experience) and the chocolate cake (‘Oh My God’), whih was possibly the best chocolate cake ever! MM BioMio Halmtorvet 19, 1700 Cph V; open daily 12:00-24:00 (later Fri and Sat), kitchen open 12:00-22:00; 3331 2000; starters 75kr, mains 135kr; www. biomio.dk Located in an old warehouse next to trendy Kødbyen, Bio Mio is certainly unusual for conservative Copenhagen. It’s stylish without being pretentious, fast enough that they don’t go crazy waiting for food, and loud enough that they can make a racket without anyone raising an eyebrow. JH SushiTreat Fox Jarmers Plads 3, Cph V; open Mon-Thu 16:30-22:00, Fri-Sat 16:30-24:00 with Club Treat from 22:00-02:00; 3338 7030 The newly-opened restaurant SushiTreat at the Hotel Fox serves the best California-style sushi in the city, offers an impressive drinks and wine card, and a completely unique atmosphere on Friday and Saturday nights when you can order sushi until 2am while listening to some of the city’s best DJs .

30 September - 6 October 2011

Growing your own spring onions

red onion bulbs water jars, bowls, pots

Take your sprouting red onion bulb and set it in a jar or bowl of water. Fill jar or bowl with water until it covers 1/2-3/4 of the onion and leave it in a place prone to receiving sunlight. Once the shoots have grown a little more (give it a few days), transfer the sprouting bulb into a plant pot filled with soil. Use your fingers to create a hole large enough for the bulb; if you have more than one bulb, make sure you have a big enough pot to be able to leave adequate space between the bulbs. Cover the bulb back over with soil, leaving the shoots poking out. Water the plant every day and leave it in a place with exposure to some sunlight.

Oysters & Grill Sjællandsgade 1B, 2200 Copenhagen N; open Mon-Sat 17:30-24:00, Sun 12:00-21:00; oysters cost 15-35kr each, main courses cost 135-185kr; 7020 6171; www.cofoco.dk Oysters & Grill is not rocket science, yet it give diners in Copenhagen access to fresh and delicious food at reasonable prices with an emphasis on seafood, fish and meats, which are prepared simply and flavourfully. NA Thai Flavours Vesterbrogade 30, Cph V; open Sun-Thu 12:00-23:00, Fri-Sat 12:00-23:30; Starters 60kr, mains 100kr; 3331 3170, thaiflavours30@gmail.com; www.thaiflavours.dk A worthy exponent of the Thai kitchen has opened recently in Vesterbro, just one block from the Planetarium and the lakes. The utterly unpretentious yet stylish Thai Flavours has a hospitable and authentic atmosphere and walls that let you breathe. KRG Saga Queen Havnegade 31, Cph K (near Nyhavn); sails twice Thu-Sat at 13:00 (lunch ) & 19:00 (dinner); reservations 4675 6460 & info@sagaqueen.dk; www. sagaqueen.dk The city’s only restaurant cruise ship, the Saga Queen offers a two-hour lunch cruise and a three-hour dinner cruise. Every table has a wonderful window view, and there’s a choice of set menus. Sometimes a meal can feel like an eternity, but here the time passed by quickly and pleasurably as we enjoyed a feast for both our eyes and our very satisfied stomachs. JC Brasserie Degas Trommesalen 5, Cph V; 3322 2826; see www.brasseriedegas.dk for more info If you like macarons, this is the place to get them. The brasserie also serves main courses like fried duck breast with wild mushrooms. TDF

Saxo Cafe Colbjørnsensgade 11, 1652 Cph V; open 11:00-23:00; 3888 8288, www.saxocafe.dk; Chinese buffet 128kr pp, dim sum dishes from 35kr Saxo’s menu is an eclectic and comforting mix of cultures, incorporating Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese buffets, Dim Sum and Vietnamese menus, and traditional Danish fare. With such a wide choice, it’s a great place to go as a group who can’t agree on a choice of cuisine. On our visit our favourites were the Dum Sums - particularly the steamed pork dumplings that are perfectly fluffy. AK Gold Prag Gothersgade 39, 1123 Cph K; open Tue-Wed 17:00-23:30; Thu-Sat 17:00-24:00; SunMon closed; appetisers from 19Kr, mains from 89kr; 3391 4712, www.goldprag.dk Gold Prag has a distinct Austrian, Hungarian, Czech and Polish heritage and lives in a time of its own. The main courses are substantial, honestly cooked and rich in taste and include Vienna schnitzel with baked new potatoes and coleslaw and chicken breast topped with apricots and cheese. There are also dumplings cooked in the Austrian way and delicious goulash among the many different servings to be had. All in all it is a rough and tumble sort of place that is elegantly primitive with charisma, heartiness and austerely excellent food that perfectly accompanies classic beers and wine. SC Restaurant Dalaman Vodroffsvej 15, Frederiksberg C; Open daily 16:0024:00; 3322 1231 www.dalaman.dk; three-course menus 119kr, 139kr & 159kr pp Turkish restaurant Dalaman puts an emphasis on good food and customer satisfaction. It’s a haven for meat lovers and is popular among its clientele for the meaty mixed grill. AJ

Pubs The Irish Rover Strøget 46, 1161 Cph K; Open daily 10:00-late; www. irishrover.dk You won’t find a more childfriendly pub in the whole city. From the fish and chip expat family nights at 17:00 on the last Friday of every month, to enjoying the Sunday roast (lamb, all the trimmings, just 99kr, kids portion for 58kr), they are always welcome. There’s live music Thursday-Sunday (22:00-late), the kitchen is open from 10:00 until late every day serving a burger meal with pint for just 120kr - the pub caters to all sports fans, there’s a pool table in their back room where you can smoke, upstairs there’s a new lounge area - the perfect place to relax with a view over Strøget. BH Brew Pub Vestergade 29, 1456 Cph K; restaurant open MonSat 12:00-22:00, pub open Mon-Thu 12:00-24:00, FriSat 12:00-02:00, Sun closed; 3332 0060; www.brewpub.dk; three-course lunch menu 155kr The menu is full of hearty, homely, yet inventive dishes featuring inspired use of the same wonderful ingredients that go into the brewing process. Each dish can be easily matched by one of Brew Pub’s own concoctions from the casks across the courtyard.

It’s an authentic taste of what the Emerald Isle was like in the 1980s in a pub totally devoid of concepts, themes, and DIY Irish pub kits. Drop by at 17:00 on Fridays for the traditional Irish music sessions which are rapidly gaining in popularity. BH

Southern Cross Løngangstræde 37, Cph K; open Sun-Thu 15:00-03:00, Sat-Sun 12:00-05:00; 3311 0939 This Aussie boozer is a mecca for expats and Danes, old and young, that has a lively darts board, a fortnightly quiz, a good sports-viewing atmosphere, and a happy hour that lasts to 8pm during which you can beers for just 30kr. JHW The Dubliner Amagertorv 5, Strøget, 1160 Cph K; Opening Hours: Mon-Sun 10:00-late This pub is never quiet. It’s the perfect place for sports fans to mingle, or for live music which it provides every day. It also serves food all day from 10am to 10pm, and diners can find peace from the music and sport on a table overlooking the walking street, or on the first floor balcony overlooking Amagertorv. BH The Globe Nørregade 43-45, 1165 Cph K; Opening hours vary, until 03:00 Fri-Sat Friendly service and good value food make this the perfect city pub, and it’s difficult to know where to enjoy your pint given the number of options. If it’s company you want, you might try the main bar, a private function the second bar; seating-wise pull up a high chair, relax on cushioned benches or lord it as a bishop for the evening; or go genteel in the library - a great place to cheat in the fortnightly quiz, the longest running in the city. BH The Old English Pub Vesterbrogade 2B, 1620 Cph V; Open Sun-Thu 11:30-02:30, Fri-Sat 11:30-04:30; 3332 1921; www.oldenglishpub.dk This Victorian style English pub has all the class and authenticity of a Cotswolds country pub not a Costa del Sol flea trap. Facing Tivoli’s arches and just a stone’s throw from Strøget, it’s the ideal pit-stop on a tour of the city centre LB

staple - sticky rice with mango. The star here is the accompanying coconut ice cream. It’s full of pieces of fresh coconut, and according to my imaginative dining companion “stirs up memories of riding elephants in the jungles of Thailand”. Indeed, the whole place has a decidedly South East Asian charm. If you are lucky enough to catch Treetawatchaiwong in action, it’s easy to realise that his sincerity and welcoming attitude plays no small part in the restaurant’s success. “I eat here often, you’d be surprised, almost every day,” he says with a laugh. “The

SUNDAY BRUNCH

AFTER A LONG DAY spent out at work, shopping or university, all you really want is some warm food and a cold beer. Your stomach is growling, your feet are aching and the thought of cooking when you get home is simply too much. Tucked away in an unobtrusive corner of Strøget lies a diamond in the rough - a warm and welcoming slice of Thailand to soothe your tired and hungry bones. As you enter The Ricemarket, the hustle and bustle of the place can be a little overwhelming. We visited on a Thursday night and the place was packed. Not to worry though - the ambient Thai ceiling lamps, dark minimalist design, candles and orchids soon set you at ease. Statues of Buddha and paintings of Thai monks add a spiritual dimension. Owners Henrik Yde-Anderson and Lertchai Treetawatchaiwong – of Kiin Kiin fame - are the undisputed kings of Thai and Pan-Asian food in Copenhagen. You have entered their mid-range temple. The service here is charmingly haphazard. Several different waitresses flit by our table, all asking the same questions. They do however have their priorities right. Two of their signature Mikkeler-brewed beers materialise instantly. Lemongrass and coriander or lemon and lime are your choices. It sounds experimental but beer traditionalists have nothing to fear. The flavours are extremely subtle and the beers are light and go down a treat with the food. Crispy pork spring rolls – a litmus test for authentic Asian food – arrive first. The quality of the ingredients is obvious from the first bite and the accompanying sweet chilli sauce tastes homemade. They pass with flying colours. Next up are sesame-fried prawns with a wasabi dip. The wasabi could do with more of a kick, but these perfectly cooked and delicate morsels of goodness win the fight on their own. For mains we order the steamed blue mussels in coconut milk and limeleaves and the signature chicken red curry. The curry is luxuriously creamy and served with a heap of fresh coriander. It is a little westernised for my tastes and a tad too sweet, but still manages to attain some of the complexity in flavour that such a dish demands. The mussels are served in a piquant broth of lime leaves, lemongrass, fish sauce and coconut milk. They soak up this gravy and explode with flavour in your mouth. A week on and I’m still salivating. To finish up we get the Thai dessert

food is cooked the way that I like it.” This explains the fusion of flavours evident in the cooking here. An “Asian bistro” is how Treetawatchaiwong likes to characterise The Ricemarket. He sees it as an everyday dining option, offering a down-to-earth spread of Thai food with Chinese, Vietnamese and even Japanese influences. The emphasis here seems to be on flexibility - it’s about what the customer wants. You can dine quickly perched at the bar or windowsill, take a little more time at one of the tables, or even get takeaway out of the side door. Still, if you want to linger, there

are a few intimate day beds at the back where you can dine by candlelight, making The Ricemarket a plausible date option. “Lots of couples go for the daybed… they tend to stick around and we usually leave them alone,” Treetawatchaiwong tells us with a cheeky grin. The duo will soon open Chaiwong, a “Singapore kitchen” in Frederiksberg bridging the gap between the fine dining of Kiin Kiin and the laidback vibe of The Ricemarket. Watch this space. .

FILM

InOut | THE CPH POST ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

30 September - 6 October 2011

Quality of film prevails despite Hathaway’s homage to Dick Van Dyke KASPER R GULDBERG

One Day (7)

Dir: Lone Scherfig; UK/US drama, 2011, 107 min; Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott, Romola Garai, Rafe Spall Premiered September 29

T IS a truth universally acknowledged that hindsight’s always 20/20. In retrospect each one of us could probably point to an event in the past, utterly random and banal, of which the consequences have literally dictated who and where we are today. What’s more, the times one feels most alive seem to be exactly when that first crucial event demands our attention. Opportunity has knocked – will you answer? I could say that One Day is a meditation on this theme and it is. But it is so much more. It’s an intelligent and engaging portrayal of 20 years of contemporary British experience, every cultural idiosyncrasy observed with wit and accuracy (something of a challenge for the Danish Scherfig whose target audience moreover will be intimately familiar with the era). It is a compelling and endearing, sometimes ironic, double portrait of two likeable characters, the dreamy but realistic working-class girl from Yorkshire, Emma (played by Hathaway who particularly impressed this critic as Jane Austen in Becoming Jane) and Dexter (Sturgess, best known for 21 and Across the Universe). In most respects Emma’s opposite, Dexter is a confident, quasi-posh easygoing optimist from a well-to-do family in the

The morning after: Liza Minnelli regrets getting married in Vegas to Mr Jack Daniels Cotswolds. It’s about ageing and compromises, ambition and accidents, hopes and reality. But most of all One Day is a saturated love story. Emma and Dexter’s lives briefly intersect upon graduation from Edinburgh University on St Swithin’s Day (July 15)of 1988. Their finals duly celebrated, they find themselves, much to their surprise, in Emma’s bed. Their affection is mutual and involuntary but also illogical and innocent – due to too much red wine and the emotional quality of the day. Nothing foreshadows the beginning of anything. For Dexter this is a girl’s room like

so many others he’s visiting these days. His prosaic, hedonistic disposition makes him tone-deaf to Emma’s hopes of making the world a better place. And while she may not know exactly how to go about this, Dexter’s dreams of wealth and fame leave her cold. Against the odds but not entirely surprising from a viewer’s perspective, a special friendship springs from this one day. The film tells its story by revisiting the two friends’ vastly different lives at more or less significant junctures, on every St Swithin’s Day over the next 20 years. Fate has a lot in store for both of them: there are ups and downs, painful near misses, crushing defeats, moments

of ecstatic harmony – and Scherfig’s dual focalisation works marvellously. The mechanical/gimmicky ‘yearfor-year’ story telling device never bothered me, though it’s neither essential nor conducive to great insights. As unintrusive as a novel’s chapters, the idea seems to owe something to the 1975 comedy play (and later film) Same Time, Next Year by Bernard Slade. Don’t confuse Slade’s title with the similar Danish title of One Day. The screenplay was done by David Nicholls, author of the 2009 novel, a critically-acclaimed runaway success, which Nick Hornby called “fantastically readable”. Nicholls demonstrated

his gift for turning his own novels into screenplays back in 2006 with Starter for Ten. The fact that One Day has failed to impress most film critics is certainly not his fault – nor Scherfig’s. A safer bet is Hathaway, or rather her American adaptation of the Yorkshire dialect, which is at best inconsistent and at worst embarrassing. But given the absorbing quality of the nicely interwoven themes, the sure-footed cinematography, and the generally believable acting – Clarkson, Stott and Spall all dazzle – the film lives up to its own ambitious intentions. It is a huge and emotional punch in the gut.

A real throwback - difficult to know who it’s aimed at! Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (15) Dir: Troy Nixey; US horror, 2011, 99 mins; Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison

Premiered September 29 Playing nationwide

UILLERMO DEL TORO is justly famed for directing the atmospheric Pan’s Labyrinth and the supremely scary The Orphanage. To the disappointment of his fans, he’s in the screenwriter’s chair for this one – a bombastic homage to

a little-known, similarly titled made-for-TV film from 1973. The director is a newcomer, a Canadian comic book artist. Involving beastly nocturnal creatures, a concealed gateway to the netherworld, and the archetypal Poe-esque haunted mansion, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is quintessential horror. Unfortunately, a draw-by-numbers feel and a lack of engaging mystery will irk the unfanatic moviegoer. The story is simple. An architect, Alex (Pearce), moves into the Gothic mansion Blackwood Manor with his new girlfriend Kim (Holmes) and his depressed preteen daughter Sally (Madison). With Alex and Kim busy working on the house and their relationship, Sally spends a lot

of time alone in her huge bedroom. Even while it’s quiet, this is pretty creepy. Then come the Gollum-like voices that seem to whisper her name. Sally soon discovers a securely bricked-up fireplace that leads to a hellish netherworld inhabited by hordes of shrivelled minimonsters. Disturbingly they feed on children’s teeth. Supposing them to be fairies, Sally is irresistibly (to viewers dismayingly) drawn to their whispered invitations but soon discovers their morbid hunger. Alex and Kim meanwhile dismiss her terror as merely a sign of her depression. Her only proof is her mutilated teddy bear. In part because it’s a remake, but also because it seems set in a

dull, changeless pre-2000 time, Don’t Be Afraid feels somewhat old and heavy. Except for Holmes in a few scenes, the actors appear a trifle uninspired – going through the motions even as they scream and bleed. How Pearce went from key roles in Animal Kingdom and The King’s Speech (both 2010) to this is the real shocker here. But in spite of these flaws, fans will find something to like. Nixey has done a decent job and demonstrates a knack for making suspenseful, extended scenes pay off in scare value and genuine fear and trembling on our part. KASPER R GULDBERG

30 September - 6 October 2011

New this Week Page One: Inside the New York Times (15) Dir: Andrew Rossi; US doc, 2011, 88 mins Media junkies will doubtless be salivating uncontrollably over the access given to documentarist Andrew Rossi . Filmed over the course of a year at the paper, the documentary reveals the reality of working for one of the world’s most venerable publications, amidst worries over future income. Rossi’s revealingly raw and simplistically presented interviews delve into the paper’s attempts to renegotiate its position, by keeping abreast of new media developments. Clearly aimed at media nerds, the film is an unashamed labour of love revealing Rossi’s admiration and respect for the grand old ‘Grey Lady’. AS

Huset i Magstræde, Rådhusstrade 13, Cph K; 3369 3200; Fri: Some Guy Who Kills People 19:30; Sat: The Woman 19:30; Harold’s Going Stiff 17:005; Tickets 70kr per night; reservations: jack. stevenson@mail.dk; www. husetmagstraede.dk Husets Biograf is offering three days of ‘Horror, Laughs and Grumpy Zombies’, screening some of the best films in the genre. If you like to be shocked, why not try the 2011 film Some Guy Who Kills People. This movie stars Kevin Corrigan and the multi-talented actor, Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture

show, Spin City) and tells the story of a lonely madman who - on being discharged from the psychiatric hospital - decides to go around killing the women he feels are responsible for his desperate situation! Over the three days, there’s guaranteed to be something to unsettle the sturdiest of constitutions! VS

Book Your Tickets Drive (15) Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn; 2011; 95 mins; Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan Make sure you’re in your seats early for this one or else you’ll miss one of the most brilliant opening scenes in a movie ... ever. Drive centres on Driver (Gosling), an auto mechanic by day, and a part-time Hollywood stuntman who can do nearly anything behind the wheel. After a chance meeting with his neighbor Irene (Mulligan), sparks begin to fly. However when Irene’s husband returns from jail, Driver finds himself in a precarious situation. Refn manages to build extraordinary tension before igniting brief outbursts of violence, and the action isn’t chopped up to fool us into thinking it’s more exciting than it is. KE

Tree of Life (11) Dir: Terence Malick; 2011, 139 mins; Brad Pitt, Sean Penn There are too many beautifully observed moments to dismiss Malick’s fifth film in over 40 years with derision as was the case recently at a Cannes screening. This a rare opportunity to

experience pure cinema as it was intended. MW

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows II (11) Dir: David Yates; 2011, 130 mins; Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint The Harry Potter finale ended an era last July. Cinematic magic follows our heroic threesome, and with a litany of impossible foes and an action-packed battle sequence finale, it’s one of the better HP films. SS

Avoid like the Plague Cowboys and Aliens (11) Dir: Jon Favreau; 2011, 118 mins; Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford Two of the most incompatible genres combine in this film, to make it a series of mind numbing pointless plot strands. You’ll likely leave the cinema wondering how this piece of filmmaking actually made it to cinemas when it should have been trashed after the first draft. AS

Zookeeper (3) Dir: Frank Coraci; 2011, 102 mins; Kevin James, Rosario Dawson and Leslie Bibb Take heed of the advice of the Christian Science Monitor which says “there should be a subdivision of the ASPCA - American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences.” James might be reasonably funny on television, but here he again shows that he is not up to the role of romantic lead.

Dir: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa; 2011; 118 mins; Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling Steve Carell re-enacts his 40-Year-Old Virgin character in this fluffy, finely manicured romcom. Carell and Gosling make an appealing buddy couple, with Gosling especially alluring as a lithe and ruthless tomcat. Pleasure can be had watching this; however the slapstick finale feels hopelessly banal. AS

Colombiana (11) Dir: Olivier Megaton; 2011, 107 mins; Zoe Saldana, Michael Vartan, Callum Blue The film is low on plot, but high on explosions and clichés. You can’t blame the actors for the failings - they are working with a wooden script and a sometimes ludicrous story. Best suited for the 13-year-old adolescent, whose parents have censored their internet access.VS

Also Playing Submarine (7) Dir: Richard Ayoade; 2010; 92 mins; Craig Roberts, Noah Taylor, Sally Hawkins. Set on the Welsh seaside, this gently stirring coming of age film is darkly funny and intriguing. However don’t expect a catchy pace - the film gently saunters along much like a submarine with a little too much fluff in some spots. KE

Fright Night 3D (15) Dir: Craig Gillespie; USA Horror, 2011, 120 mins; Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse Craig Gillespie’s modernised take on a 25-year-old cult classic is mostly a fun experience. Nicely balancing the genre’s essential sexual metaphors with Disney-esque values, you’ll find Fright Night memorable and satisfying. When several classmates go missing, geeky loner Ed (Mintz-Plasse) unknowingly implores a vampire - the charismatic Charlie (Farrell) - to help him trap the bloodsucker. Farrell is of course the film’s ace in the hole, but the crew deserves credit for their amusing updates of vampire lore. Thus, when Jerry has guzzled the warm blood of a Vegas stripper, what he really longs for is a cool Budweiser. KG

Bobby Fischer Against the World (11) Dir: Liz Garbus; 2011; 93 min Bobby Fischer, Regina Fischer Bobby Fischer reassuringly reminds us that the price of success is one that most would not wish to pay. This is a poignant and unsettling film, but Garbus provides no revelations for anyone who has followed Fischer’s story. AS

The Change-Up (15) Dir: David Dobkins; 2011; 112 mins; Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde If you’re looking for formulaic brainrot with belly laughs, you could do worse. Belonging to the ‘The Body Swap’ sub genre this film is predictable. There are a handful of genuinely funny moments here and the leads are naturally amusing, but at two hours it’s just too long. MW

Friends with Benefits (3) Dir: Will Gluck; 2011; 109 mins; Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Woody Harrelson, Richard Jenkins Friends with Benefits is a comedy that tells the story of two friends, Dylan (Timberlake) and Jamie (Kunis), who attempt to add sex to their relationship without the complicated extras love and commitment. The film is fast and funny, but ultimately predictable. Your enjoyment of it may well come down to how much you love or hate Justin Timberlake! VS

Boardwalk Empire

spor t THE W OF EEK

SV2, Friday 22:45

BOARDWALK Empire is finally here, making its bow on Danish TV just a week after the return of its second season in the US. Martin Scorsese directed the pilot and doesn’t hold back, blowing $18 million on setting the scene, which in Boardwalk very much belongs to Nucky Thompson (a career-best Steve Buscemi), the kingpin of Atlantic City who in the wake of Prohibition (episode one takes place on it very eve) ensures his patch never goes dry. Along the way we meet the fictional – including Nicky’s adopted son Jimmy (Michael Pitt), a war hero desensitised to violence, and love interest Margaret Schroeder (Kelly Macdonald), whose arc defines the whole series – and the actual, from Lucky Luciano to Al Capone (a convincingly unpleasant

Stephen Graham, a British actor who hasn’t looked back since his quiet breakout in Snatch). Boardwalk won eight Emmys and has an 88 score on Metacritic – most of its directors and writers worked on The Sopranos. “Watching HBO’s new Boardwalk Empire is like sitting in your favorite tavern and hearing someone say: ‘Drinks are on the house.’ Friends, it doesn’t get much better,” praised the New York Daily News. “It’s the most purely - and impurely - enjoyable storytelling HBO has delivered in ages, like a movie that you never want to end,” chimed TV Guide. There’s no doubt that the pilot is a little slow – as with many goods dramas, the plot won’t be idiot-proof - but this is definitely one worth persevering with.

Possibly as a companion piece, Making History (DR K, Mon 20:55 & Tue 19:00) looks at the gangsters from the Boardwalk era. But if you thought they were tough, wait until you meet the subjects of Pink saris (SV1, Tue 22:00): vigilantes who avenge violent acts against women on the streets of Uttar Pradesh, India. “When a man TV3 Puls, Sun 22:00 Boardwalk Empire does wrong, give him a beating,” they say, and they fight in pink. Elsewhere, apologies for last week’s erroneous claim that BBC Entertainment have started a children’s schedule (we blame their website); while TV2 Sport continues to show all the worth-seeing games from the Rugby World Cup (including Wales vs Fiji, Sun 06:45, and Ireland vs Italy, Sun 09:30).
