BEN HAMILTON

YOU’VE GOT TO feel sorry for Robin (see G2 for details of the Batman Live World Tour). In my childhood it was always “You be Batman, I’ll be Robin.” I even remember having a Robin pencilcase I was proud of.

But when you’re six it’s easy to overlook the fact that your hero is a camp and pretty immobile kid who really should be at school instead of hanging out in a cave with a middle-aged man who thinks he’s a bat. As long as there’s catchy music to excitedly dance to (a fantastic outlet for ADD) and at least a dozen KAPOWs, you won’t spot the innuendos (on top of the numerous BONKs) and occasionally audible guffaws disguised as OOOOFFs from the cast who can’t believe they classically trained to end up doing this rubbish.

Yeah, Robin was cool, but then Tim Burton came along in the late 1980s and went in a completely different direction – the direction of the comic books, the purists would say. Out when the

HELLE BRENDSTRUP

Children’s Half Term

Technicolor-friendly outfits and in came the brooding shades of black. Garish Gotham became Gothic Gotham and Robin went the way of the dodo.

And that’s where het should have stayed. His comeback in the 1997 film Batman & Robin was a complete disaster (strange as the previous film Batman Forever was also awful, but Warner Bros retained the director Joel Schumacher to make another) and he’s never been seen on celluloid since.

And while he makes an appearance at the live show, I didn’t even bother downloading his image as a potential cover – talk about kicking someone when he’s down.

Robin, if he was a real person and not just my imaginary childhood friend, would probably say “Holy haberdashery” about the range of events going on for Children’s Half Term (see G2) and Culture Night (see G9), but be too busy fighting crime to attend. But every superhero’s got to eat, and Oyster Week (see G8) sounds too good to miss.

Finally, just hot off the press, apparently HRH herself, Helen Mirren, will be in town next week to attend a Nordic Film Council event at Grand Teatret cinema on Monday. If that isn’t worth a “Holy hole in the donut, Batman”, I don’t know what is.

DESPITE recording-breaking temperature highs and the sunshine that continues to desperately cling to these October days, Denmark’s time-honoured autumn break for schoolchildren is coming on in full swing.

Historically, the break was deemed the ‘potato holiday’ because it was reserved for the children of farmers to stay home and help bring in the year’s harvest of potatoes. Centuries later, the children of Denmark are much more fortunate as they are now sent to play rather than to work during the week.

Whether it’s to fulfill your children’s endless pleas for a day out and a few fun activities, or to take them around the city for the very first time, venues across Copenhagen are opening their doors during week 42 with special activities and performances aimed at young audiences.

While kids (and grownups alike) await the release of the next Batman film at the end of 2012, a totally new kind of experience is on offer: the live stage show. A mixture of theatre, stunts, acrobatic and special effects, the live performance almost outdoes the movie. The show is mostly set at the circus – a conveniently cool setting for the action. Get set for a spectacular show in the company of Batman, Robin, the Joker, and many other wellknown criminals from the Batman universe.

foyer; www.kglteater.dk A triple bill featuring works by August Bournonville, George Balanchine and Harald Lander.

Bournonville Fantasy 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. Expect elaborate footwork made up of many quick steps and a lively expression. Balanchine’s salute to the Danish style is noticeable in

his Donizetti Variations, which ballerina Suzanne Farrell called “fast, lighthearted and technically demanding”. And finally, Lander’s Etudes, which the Royal Ballet’s director Nicolaj Hubbe describes as Danish ballet’s equivalent of the national anthem, is a one-act ballet that begins with exercises at the barre and develops into extensive bravura steps with which the dancers take over the whole stage.

Transparency

But if one thinks about what corruption does to individual people – giving an edge to some, perhaps manoeuvring them into conflicts of loyalty whilst making others feel exposed or even desperate – then dancing bodies appear more suited to rendering or expressing these feelings and states.

However, this is not what choreographer Lotte Sigh does in her piece Transparency, allegedly a “performance about the influences of corruption”.

The show is part of a festival about corruption held at Dansehallerne for which Transparency International Danmark compiled a series of workshops, lectures and debates last week.

Sigh’s dance piece is in every way eclectic: her cast have back-

But while for reasons not unrelated to its risqué nature and views on fidelity, many of its custodians have been compelled to bowdlerise it, this is about as delightful as opera buffa gets. KRG

grounds in gymnastics, martial arts, ballet, and contemporary dance – or have in Sam Vaherlehto’s case won the Finnish version of So You Think You Can Dance. The dancers come from Russia, Australia, Finland or Bulgaria and while some of them have worked with prestigious choreographers before, Transparency is more of a debut for others.

The choreography accounts for these different backgrounds and influences. Some feature elements of acrobatics and contortion for individual dancers, while others perform a movement vocabulary that stresses their ballet training. In the group sequences for all seven dancers, the choreography consists of somewhat estranged ballet movements, but has an aggressively martial feel to it. Notably, Transparency relies on spectacularity that lets the dancers show off their remarkable technical skill. At the beginning of the performance, costume designer Wali Barrech puts white masks on the dancers that makes them appear increasingly uncanny as the white fabric erases from their bodies the individuality a face usually provides.

While all this often looks good, the performance lacks a danced reflection of the issue in question: corruption. For references to corruption, Transparency falls back on the written and

Skulpturi, Store Kongensgade 3, Cph K; starts Oct 14, ends Nov 13; open Wed-Sat 12:00-15:00; www.skulpturi.dk Three new sculptures from Danish artist Eva Steen Christensen are the focus of this exhibition.

Christensen explores the stories hidden in materials in her abstract sculptural work. The artist imagines noise where there is silence, a cube transforming into a bird, or cardboard being mistaken for stone. She is interested in our relationship to the physical world around us, and material narratives are her response to life’s difficult questions. BF

spoken word. Early in the piece, a voice from the loudspeakers reads a text about an individual who is “surrounded by people and yet left alone”. In connection to never knowing “if the ground will collapse or what’s waiting behind the corner”, this suggests unreliability and the individual’s physical precariousness.

Later, visual designer Lars Egegaard Sørensen projects words such as ‘business’, ‘moral benefits’, ‘cronyism’, or ‘trafficking law’ onto a barely visible gauze, which makes the terms look like they’re floating in midstage nothingness. In the same way, he projects images of dancers into the centre of the impressively deep stage space; an effect that again looks fine, but has no perceivable function in dealing with the corruption theme.

Only occasionally does Sigh choreograph what might be intended as explicit references to corruption: there is a short episode in which the dancers throw coins, and one in which they point their fingers at individual dancers. But doesn’t that rather depict behaviours associated with thriftlessness and exclusion, or accusation or bullying? A highly energetic and watchable piece, Transparency’s treatment of corruption remains lazy.

a perfect night of darkness with Fink Fink

Amager Bio; Friday, 20:00; 225 kr www.amagerbio.dk www.finkworld.co.uk

F

ridAy marks the first ever show in denmark for the three-piece based in Brighton in the UK. Their new LP, Perfect Darkness, was released in the summer of this year and whilst there is little to surprise long-time fans of the band in terms of style, the lead vocals of Fin Greenhall are enough to captivate any first-time listeners, and the album features several songs that rate amongst the best the band has ever produced.

Perfect Darkness sounds like the calm before the storm – always threatening to explode but holding something back – reminiscent of a pre-2000 radiohead. As a live band, Fink have a superb reputation which has been well earned – a tight rhythm section of bass and drums, with Greenhall’s percussive finger picking skills making him one of the finest acoustic guitarists you will see anywhere in the world.

Greenhall is the singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of the outfit, but did not always have a band in tow – his career prior to his band mates joining him is far from what you would expect of today’s singer songwriters. during his 20s he was signed by legendary London electronic label Ninja Tune as a dJ and producer. His first album - a collection of ambient techno grooves with subtle inflections of hip-hop beats and dubby bass lines helped him to achieve moderate underground success, touring the UK club scene with labelmates Bonobo and Mr Scruff. Over the following two or three years however, a dramatic change took place in Fink’s music. He picked up the guitar for the first time in several years and began to write in an entirely new style. The result was a stripped-back, bluesy acoustic album with minimal instrumentation entitled Biscuits for Breakfast. Fink emerged from this second album a fully-fledged singer songwriter - with an effortless guitar style that most players can only dream of and a beautiful, deep baritone vocal full of soul and emotion.

Although Biscuits certainly did not propel Fink

into the mainstream, he had penned a magnificent set of pop songs in a style that was all his own.

Songs like ‘Pretty Little Thing’ and ‘you Gotta Choose’ are two of the standout songs of Fink’s first foray into traditional song writing. The tunes are mellow and laid-back but never venture into the self-pitying territory that is familiar to so many of Fink’s contemporaries – his experience as a dJ undoubtedly provides a framework for him to make music with a groove that makes you tap your foot and nod your head, even though he often uses nothing but acoustic guitar and voice.

New-found fans of Fink did not have to wait long for a follow-up to Biscuits for Breakfast and the next album did not disappoint. His unmistakable vocal and guitar style had changed very little, but 2007’s Distance and Time showed the maturity of a more experienced songwriter growing comfortable in his own skin. A less minimal approach is also evident on this release: a full drum kit is present on several tracks, allowing for more dynamic range without interfering with the intimate nature of the songs. ‘Trouble’s What you’re in’, the album’s

opener, is one of the standout tracks – a moody tale of a late night train ride in London – in which Fink’ s lyrical style is both dark and beautiful: “in that dress that’s as black as my heart, on this train/ And those lips that’s as red as the blood in my veins.” Fink toured extensively in the UK and also in parts of Europe in 2008, this time extending to a three-piece band with Guy Whittaker on bass and Tim Thornton on drums, both of whom contribute backing vocals. This three-piece set-up worked so well that it settled as a permanent line-up, both out on the road and in the studio.

With several years experience of playing live together now behind them, the audience at Amager Bio this Friday can expect a super tight performance with subtlety and power, but they are not always an easy band to predict – their live shows could retain the intimate melancholy for which they are well known, but the calm before must be followed by the storm, and these three musicians are very capable of causing just that.

When saints Go machine

Forbrændingen, 21:00; 150kr The offspring of Copenhagen’s much-hyped electro-indie scene, the fresh-faced four-piece are the creators behind some of denmark’s most catchy mixes. defined by their atmospheric blend of Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild’s quivering falsetto vocal style, crisp keyboard sequences and pulsating sonic bleeps, the quartet are a must-see live act.

Having recently released their second album, Konkylie (2011) - on the back of their enthralling début - it makes for an even wilder listen, dynamically drawing inspiration from cultures from the four corners of the globe. Highly recommended.

Review Anna calvi

HHHHHH

October 8 Lille Vega

s

aturday night was date night for many couples at Lille Vega, as the sizeable crowd that turned out for the anna Calvi concert teemed with swooning lovers holding hands and sharing drinks. and Calvi, a British alternative rock musician who made her breakthrough onto the music scene at the beginning of this year, gave them a night to remember.

Michael Møller - a danish singer and songwriter whose songs reveal the sufferings of an immense heartbreak – began the evening with a 45-minute acoustic set. Sitting centre-stage with only his guitar in hand, his vocals were honest and strong, leaving a hush over the compelled audience. He ended his emotionally powerful performance by standing with his hands folded behind his back as he belted out a short a-cappella song that reverberated

i Got You On Tape

Loppen; 21:00; 100kr In a flash IGyONt went from being a small-time band playing at venues across Copenhagen to one of the biggest in denmark, if not Scandinavia. Heralded by Jacob Bellen’s amicable vocalstyle - which perfectly suits the subtlety of their instrumental character - their sound is at once distinguished as well as warmly inviting. The quartet are certainly one of the more ambitious bands hailing from Viking country, and it’s always a good idea to take a chance at seeing the group live since their gigs typically sell out.

through the room as the stage was prepared for Calvi. after a short interlude, Calvi walked onto the darkened stage, telecaster in hand, and opened with a dark instrumental – proving the guitar wasn’t just for show.

The girl can play. Compared to the styles of Patti Smith and PJ Harvey by numerous critics, Calvi immediately commanded the audience’s full attention. as soon as she began singing, the petite woman with ruby red lips displayed a surprisingly dark, powerful and absorbing vocal talent.

Most profound was how each ending note drawled on with a haunting vibrato.

The song line-up slowly evolved, starting with seductive yet vulnerable tunes including ‘I’ll Be your Man’ and ‘Moulinette’ that showed her raw power, requiring no flashy stage moves or complex mixing techniques to make an impact. as the show went on, the crowd rose and fell with the rhythms of each song - coming alive with loud bursts of guitar and drums, then falling still and mesmerised when Calvi whispered her more intimate lyrics.

Beady Eye

Store Vega; 20:00, 415kr Branded as Oasis minus Noel Gallagher, Liam and crew – all dressed head-to-toe in British mod attire as you’d probably have guessed – churn out good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll tunes that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in the ‘90s or perhaps even Oasis’s discography. Whatever the story, lean wall-of-noise guitars, memorable melodies and Liam’s strutting about the stage with a cocky swagger is all to be expected, and Beady Eye has been welcomed with open arms by Oasis fans and beyond.

It promises to be a classic concert, that will double up as a meeting place for English expats from all over denmark. (English) dvdN

The melvins

Lille Vega, 21:00; 185kr The Melvins first hit the stage in 1983. Initially inspired by grunge music – with Kurt Cobain, who idolised the band, interestingly born in the same town as that of their origin – their latest record is more like a modern post-punk incarnation of Black Sabbath, and defined by its dense, heavy and oppressive soundscape.

With a cult following around the world, The Melvins are superheavyweights on the punk and metal scenes and this is a concert in which every punker and metalhead in town really ought to be present, even if the concert would have been more fitting at Copenhagen rock club The rock.

The subways

Loppen; 21:00; 90kr Originally from Sacramento in California, Ganglians offer a psychedelic-tinged, spacey, surfer rock-layered sound with robust chord sequences that hark back to ‘60s art-rock, topped with the frontman’s marauding vocals. Brimful with charisma and blistering with rawness, the four-piece’s sound comes across as a wild experiment in the way that it carries it over into a rougher, dirtier and more lo-fi framework. Melodic, impressionable and powerful, this is exactly the kind of band you want to run into when rummaging through gig listings.

Lille Vega; 21:00; 160kr Hailing from England, the girlfriend-boyfriend partnership Charlotte Cooper and Billy Lunn – plus their drummer Josh Morgan – speak only in a zealous post-punk language on stage. No cheese, cuddles and kisses, just a real crooner and a tattooed blonde hottie lashing out on guitar to make high-spirited numbers such as ‘rock and roll Queen’, ‘It’s a Party’ and ‘With you.’ remaining a so-called ‘emerging’ rock group for pretty much the duration of their career - often performing on the smaller stages at major festivals - the duo have a cult following and are always worth seeing.

The performance picked up halfway through with the amp turned up for a cover of tV on the radio’s ‘Wolf Like Me’, which had the males in the room rocking out and singing along even more than their female counterparts. The crowd later exploded with approval as Calvi performed the guitar-driven wailing singles ‘desire’ and ‘Blackout’.

In stark opposition to her powerful singing, when Calvi spoke it was merely to mumble a barely audible “thank you.”

Seven heart-warming marvels you should not miss ENJOY SEVEN breathtaking museum experiences and love stories with the one who you hold dear to your heart.

The Heart Book over them all Begin the day with a delicious breakfast at The Black Diamond (Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1) and find inspiration for a new reading of your love pledges in the Heart Book, which is the oldest handwritten Danish ballad anthology. The book was written during the reign of King Christian III in the 1550s, where the court flourished with chivalrous knights and beautiful damsels in the not too courtly love milieu. Eighty-three love ballads were collected and written up in bygone times, but the identity and basic facts of the author are lost in the fogs of history. But it has not prevented later authors and poets from finding inspiration for their own works in the Heart Book’s playful ballads.

The enlightening romance of the Golden Age Bakkehusmuseet (Rahbeks Allé 23) lies a mere stone’s throw from Søndermarken.

Take a recuperative stroll and take in the warm and authentic spirit of the very home where culture-loving couple Knud Lyhne and Kamma Rahbek entertained many leading figures from the Danish Golden Age. Visit the legendary corner room where a young and naïve H C Andersen ead aloud his fairy tales and Rahbek called him a ‘poet’. The lonely and insecure writer would never forget those words uttered by pretty Kamma, and he later recounted the fateful moment: “It

was the first time anyone had associated the word poet with me: it went through my blood and soul, tears came to my eyes, and I know that from this moment my thoughts were awakened to working as a poet and author.”

Old houses also catch fire “Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.” As always, the classical and quickwitted Coco Chanel hits home with the phrase. Experience the relief “Cupid received by Anacreon” at Thorvaldsens Museum (Bertel Thorvaldsens Plads 2), where Cupid sets an old poet’s heart on fire and proves that even old people do fall in love. Maybe the work was inspired by Bertel Thorvaldsens’ complicated and turbulent love life: he never married, but it did not stop him from having tempestuous relationships with no fewer than four women, possibly more. You can also read his love letters, which are readily available on the web through the Bertel Thorvaldsens Letter Archive, at home.

Roses for a much-admired star Get lost in the beautiful surroundings of Rungstedslund (Strandvej 111), where the Karen Blixen Museum resides. In Ewald’s Room you can find a rather discreet vase with a single red rose, which is replaced every day. Behind this tradition lies a heart-warming story: in the last three years of Karen Blixen’s life she received a red rose every single day by mail – from the same, secret admirer so that she could feel appreciated. The total of roses she received is well above 1,000! Impress your chosen one and send her roses covertly.

Southern Cross Quiz Løngangstræde 37, Cph K; Thu 19:30; 25kr per person; max five per team You’ll be impressed with the intelligence of the questions posed

by Mike. Intriguing, informative and mostly guessable, he personally writes every one and it shows. The winners get a bottle of vodka and ten pints of beers, which can be redeemed as tokens, second place eight bottles, and last place shots. BH

The forbidden fruit of love Take your sweetheart along to the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle and take a walk in the idyllic baroque garden. Experience the pearl of the portrait collection: the lifelike and wonderfully done portrait of Caroline Mathilde and Struensee’s forbidden love child, Louise Augusta, whose conception proved to be the beginning of the end for Struensee’s regime in the literal sense.

Fate has been subtle, though; the daughter of Louise Augusta, Caroline Amalie, was later married to King Christian VIII and thereby the blood of Struensee mixed with that of the Danish royal family.

The Wedding Tree Go forth in nature to the idyllic Ballerup Museum (Pederstrupvej 51-53), where nature’s blessing of the bonds of love once happened. In front of Lynsmedenshus, in the stunning museum garden, you can find the ancient Wedding Tree, which held a mythical meaning for the married couples who visited the region in the days of yore. The legend goes that should the newly married couple entwine their hands through the hole in the tree, their marital happiness will be ensured for life. The hole in the tree has grown over, but the spirit of the magical tree still permeates the surrounding area.

The beloved in the closet At the Museum of Copenhagen (Vesterbrogade 59, Cph V) you can experience a collection of Søren Kierkegaard’s belongings such as the gold engagement ring, which Regine Olsen wore during the 13 tempestuous months their engagement lasted. After he called off the engagement he had the five diamonds of the engagement ring mounted into a cross, which he bore to the day he died.

La Galette Larsbjørnsstræde 9, 1454 Cph K; open Mon-Sat 12:00-16:00 & 17:3022:00, Sun 16:00-22:00; 3332 3790; www.lagalette.dk This is the place for pancakes of the French variety. Asterix and Obelix are even featured on this cosy cafe’s homepage. Galettes are the cafe’s namesake and specialty - a savoury pancake made with buckwheat flour, filled with cheese, fish, meat or vegetables. All in all, 22 varieties of galette are on the menu with fillers ranging from scrambled egg to goat’s cheese to ratatouille at prices that go from 35-110 kr. The sweet variety of dessert crepe is made with white flour and offers options such as chestnut crème, apple sauce or apricot flambé. This relaxed backyard spot offers aperitifs, coffee, wine, a mix of the first two, and apple cider.

Props duly given if you can find the place

Kosher Delikatessen Lyngbyvej 87, 2100 Cph Ø; open TueThu 9:00-17:30, Fri 8:00-13:00; 3918 5777; www.copenhagenkosher.dk The sausages, ham and bacon are all kosher here, made from beef or veal. There are kosher sandwiches and wine gums made with gelatine from fish instead of pig. The delicatessen sells cakes and chocolate made without milk and sugar as well, since it is forbidden to mix meat and milk products either in the stomach or on the plate according to the Jewish tradition. Anyone simply tired of pork products is also welcome of course.

L’Chaim!

Baisikeli Ingerlevsgade 80, 1705 Cph V; open Mon-Fri o7:30-18:00, Sat 10:0018:00; 5361 0229; www.baisikeli.dk A combination bicycle shop and café, this bright shop also offers a repair service while you wait. So if you need a flat fixed, stop by and get a latte while you wait, then resume your trip happily caffeinated. Bicycles are available to rent to tourists, and baked goods and benches are available for weary travellers. This enterprise also expands the world of cycling by sending repaired bicycles to Tanzania and Sierra Leone, raising money for infrastructure projects that support cycling in Africa.

Kids Snedronning (Snow Queen)

Theatre Zeppelin, Valdemarsgade 15, Cph V; ends Nov 29, performances Sun 13:00, Tue & Thu 09:30 & 12:00, Wed 10:00, Fri: 10:00; Tickets: 35165kr; www.zeppelin.dk Proving that HC Andersen’s stories are just as much of a hit today as they were long ago, The Snow Queen is an adventurous journey of evolution. Set at a hotel far away from civilisation, the story follows two friends Kay and Gerda who are suddenly delivered a magic mirror - with no idea where it came from. The mirror turns out to be a gateway to another world – the Snow Queen’s icy universe – where all your innermost dreams and wishes come true … but for a price. Visually stunning, the set boasts a raw and rusty icy hotel by innovative, award-winning designer Joanni Eggert. The Snow Queen is a fantastic dramatisation sure to warm up kids’ imaginations. EM

Culture Night

BY JESSICA SLICER

Props Coffee Shop Blågårdsgade 5, 2200 Cph N; open Mon-Wed 11:00-24:00, Thu-Sat 11:00-02:00, Sun 12:00-23:00; 3536 9955; www.propscoffeeshop.dk This beloved coffee place and late night hang-out gets so packed that everyone is forced to sit together, and they even enjoy it. The casual, intimate atmosphere brings in loyal customers just as its good, unpretentious coffee wins over newcomers. Slow newspaper-lingerers and beer-drinkers mingle in a glow of worn, wooden furniture, and soft lighting, snuggling up and enjoying good conversation.

BY NICHOLE ACCETTOLA

SLUGS, SNAILS, caterpillars and spiders, my son can take them all.

Though he’s just five years old, he has more courage than the French guy who walked on a high-wire between the Twin Towers back in the ‘70s. Actually, it’s a good thing that he’s like that, especially since I’m the exact opposite. Who’d think that a little plastic spider hidden in my bed would have me sleeping on the couch for a week? That was until I saw a real spider lingering in the corner.

A little toughening up on my behalf is a must because it’s a skill I need to tend to my vegetable garden. This is my first year growing veg, and I have seen that a bit of bad – in the form of insects – invariably comes along with all that good.

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

Our tomato plants have been especially plagued by bugs, particularly aphids and caterpillars. One way to fight aphids is to spray them with watered down dishwashing liquid, a task my son found particularly fun once it was put into his water gun. And he took the fight against the caterpillars in stride as well, equipped merely with a pair of colourful child-friendly scissors. “Snip, snip,” he says gruffly as he cuts them in half. “Now you’re two.”

Thanks to my little warrior, our tomato crop has remained intact. And the seemingly endless amounts of tomatoes have given us an opportunity to try out all our favourite tomato recipes. Here’s one of my best – a spicy, sweet and salty tomato marmalade that really rocks on a piece of crusty bread. $ $ $

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!

Tomato Chilli Marmalade

1 kg tomatoes 1/2 kg whole plum tomatoes, from tin, drained 8 cloves garlic 4 tbs fresh ginger, peeled 60 ml fish sauce 2–4 fresh chillis 2 dl red wine vinegar 600 g brown sugar rustic bread extra virgin olive oil Start by bringing a large pot of water to the boil.

In a blender, puree garlic, ginger and fish sauce together. Then set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized pot, heat vinegar and brown sugar. Add chilli, both types of tomatoes. Stew for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is concentrated.

Add in garlic/ginger puree and season to taste. Serve with toasted slices of rustic bread drizzled with olive oil.

Can be prepared ahead and stored in refrigerator for five days.

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.

14 - 20 October 2011

With floors so clean you could eat your meal off them

is everything you can expect from a good diner: tasty, filling food, served with refreshing milkshakes and quite affordable. I especially enjoyed my creamy mango sauce topping and crunchy garlic bread.

With a menu ranging from early-morning pancakes to weekend brunches to different kinds of alcohol (mostly wine and beer), the Café remains lively until late evenings, even on weekdays. Its trendy décor and atmosphere makes it difficult to leave.

Be satisfied by the charme of delicacy…

Macaroons and French pastry, in a modern environment.

Brasserie Degas re-open its doors in a new location, proposing again to all its customers, the famous club sandwich and Foie Gras salat.

SUNDAY BRUNCH

IF YOU THINK about it, doing your laundry and going out for an evening have a lot in common: you have to be careful about what you mix (think whites and colours, and wine and beer), what you put in can colour the end result (think beetroot), and most hangovers invariably feel like spending an hour in a tumble drier. But have you ever thought of actually having a nice meal while doing the laundry?

Icelandic entrepreneur Friedrik Weisshappel has, and instead of keeping it to himself, he launched a restaurant based on the idea.

Weisshappel launched the Laundromat Café in August 2004 in Nørrebro, leading to the creation of a second one in Østerbro in 2006 (Århusgade 38, Cph Ø; 3555 6020), and a third one in Reykjavik (Austurstræti 9) last March.

It has since then been featured in a number of Copenhagen travel guides, and international publications such as the New York Times and Time Magazine. In this rather simple idea lies the spirit of hygge: a nice décor, colourful dishes, and the comfort of good company.

Funky letters saying ‘The Laundromat Café’ welcome customers into what is a mix of a bar, a café, and a laundrette. Stylish chairs and tables sit on the outdoor terrace evoking memories of modern-day Parisian cafés.

With pop music blaring in every corner, and bright red benches and equally red doors, the place is an interesting mix of Berlin’s übermodern, eclectic décor and America’s classic diner. International magazines of all kinds lie on the tables, along with catchy quotes from philosophers, celebrities and politicians, hung on the wall or printed on little postcards. “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” says one from English theologian John Wesley.

And among those numerous cultural references, you will be served by a stylish and friendly staff, mostly composed of native Icelanders.

Choosing from a varied, healthconscious menu, I enjoyed a tasty mango-chicken sandwich, served with a generous portion of mango sauce, fried potatoes and mayonnaise, while my friend had a Laundromat Club Sandwich. The food

Colourful second-hand books, written in Danish or English, are displayed in front of the bar and sold at ridiculously low prices – taking a good glance at one of them might just be enough to keep you there for hours.

The place is also a good spot for students to get some work done in a nice and upbeat atmosphere similar to the popular Paludan café downtown.

Whether it is to get some work done, relax or meet old friends, the

Laundromat Café is now a classic destination for locals and tourists.

But what makes it unique is its shiny laundry room, where a world map hangs on top of lipstick-red dryers, and where your clothes will be effortlessly washed and dried without you even thinking about it.

And even if you don’t show up with laundry (which is the case for most customers), the experience in itself is worth the detour. .

Even 3D wigs and crinolines can’t disguise the same old story KEVIN EVANCIO

The Three Musketeers 3D (11)

Dir: Paul WS Anderson; UK adventure, 2011, 102 mins; Logan Lerman, Matthew MacFadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Christoph Waltz, Milla Jovovich, Mads Mikkelsen

Premiered October 13 Playing nationwide

T

HIS INCARNATION of The Three Musketeers feels very similar to the past Russell Crowe Robin Hood feature, and not just because MacFadyen and Evans feature in both. The whole idea behind the films is the same – take a familiar, popular and well played piece of literature and try to put a new 21st century spin on it as if modern audiences could not relate to the original story.

Unfortunately, The Three Musketeers (2011 version) is doomed to the same fate as Robin Hood (2010 version) – they just don’t offer enough to jump start their ‘hidden’ franchise hopes.

Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil films, Mortal Kombat) brings his incredible wealth of experience and top drawer filmmaking to the newest incarnation of Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 bestseller. Not only is he given the biggest ever budget for a Three Musketeers film, he is also the first to do it in 3D. So we have the director behind the outrageous Resident Evil pictures, with money to burn and a desire to do 3D, attempting to rework a classic piece of literature. What could possibly go wrong?

We don’t have to wait long to see what Anderson has up his sleeveless shirt, as the movie opens with the

The actors take a break to shoot the video for their new romantic pop-ballad ‘A Rose for My Lady’ aka ‘Pray Show Me Your Pantaloons’

musketeers, under the employment of France’s King Louis (Fox), in Venice on a secret mission to steal the plans for a Leonardo Da Vinci designed airship (which, by the way, is not as crazy as it sounds as the French were experimenting with airships as early as the mid 1800s). Unfortunately for super-serious Athos (Macfadyen), enigmatic ex-priest Aramis (Evans) and jovial muscleman Porthos (Stevenson), M’lady de Winter (Jovovich, Anderson’s regular muse from Resident Evil), is along for the ride and has planned to double cross them and sell the plans to England and Lord Buck-

ingham (Bloom).

Not to be outdone is Cardinal Richelieu (Waltz, somewhat lazily cast as yet another smooth villain, but damn he plays them well), who also has a piece of M’lady’s ear and has her steal the plans for himself, among other things from Buckingham. So, by the time that the young upstart hairball D’Artagnan (Lerman) arrives on the scene, the three musketeers have been indulging in more booze than battle and are feeling sorry for themselves. However, after big D’ manages to antagonise the three of them and Richelieu’s commander Rochfort

(Mikkelsen), the four of them find themselves together fighting 40, or was it 400?

Finally re-instated, the four (or is it five of them) are sent off on an impossible mission (cue the music) to save France by not only defeating the English but also nullifying the Cardinal’s power back home. And maybe big D’ can even score the girl?

Unfortunately for The Three Musketeers, Lerman is completely uninspiring and creates a large void in the picture where the lead character should be. The time spent on him would have been better spent on Mac-

Fadyen, Evans and Stevenson, as they seem to show good chemistry with one another as three friends and war buddies, but don’t get the necessary screen time to really show it.

As for its sequel hopes, like the Crowe/Scott Robin Hood, Anderson’s picture ends just as its story should really be kicking into life. It kinda makes you think: “Why couldn’t they have just started the picture here instead of going through all this garbage beforehand?” or even more likely, ‘Why couldn’t Paul WS Anderson have been too busy with his Resident Evil films to make this one?’

A predictable tale of youth, sex and spandex Footloose (15) Dir: Craig Brewer; US dance, 2011, 100 mins; Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell

Premiered October 139 Playing nationwide ‘one lucky elephant’ – Documentary of the Month 13-20 October: A ten thousand pound love story. “A poignant, heart-felt tale about the shared life journey of a man and an elephant” – New York Times.

R

EMAKES HAVE always been a dangerous thing and the modernised version of Footloose is no exception. For many who grew up loving this classic film, this remake will no doubt destroy a story that for so many people

was almost flawless.

Whilst the story starts in much the same fashion as the original, with bad boy city kid Ren MacCormack moving to the small town of Bomont, it is the small changes to the script that at times makes Footloose seem more like a teenage dance movie than a story of classic teen rebellion.

The character of McCormack, played by Kenny Wormald, is likeable enough and easy on the eye, but overall the director’s decision to make him less angst-ridden is often irritating. Ren spends much of his time driving around in his yellow beetle supposedly angry and insubordinate, yet on the whole the character comes off

much more mature than the original character who Kevin Bacon so perfectly portrayed.

The much loved scene from the original in which Ren dances away his rage is still present in the film; however the prelude of almost being caught with marijuana somewhat destroys the simplicity that made the original such a masterpiece.

While Quaid and MacDowell are well cast as preacher and wife, the great loss of this film is evident in the character of Ariel, played by Julianne Hough.

Ariel spends much of this film strutting around in tight denim trying to wrap her legs around anything that moves,

a character shift that will disappoint original Ariel fans played by Lori Singer - who praised her for her vulnerable yet strong willed ways.

All in all this film is much sexier than the original, but it lacks depth and character development. The story is at times long-winded and whilst the dancing scenes are amazing, it feels more like a choreographed music video than a film.

Despite a storyline that is more Step Up than cut loose, the modernisation of this ‘80s classic is sure to be popular with teens, most of whom won’t have seen the original.

New this Week The Staircase (aka Death on the Staircase)

Dir: Jean-Xavier de Lestrade; France doco, 2004, 360 mins showing at Husets Biograf, Magstræde 14, Cph K; Sun, doors open 13:00, show starts 14:00, tickets 70 kr; www.husetmagstraede.dk Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade presents a gripping courtroom thriller dissecting a chilling real-life crime. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was charged with the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the stairway of their home. With unusual access to Peterson’s lawyers, home and immediate family, de Lestrade’s cameras capture the defence team as it considers its strategic options. The film is an engrossing look at contemporary American justice that features more twists than a legal bestseller. For the first time all eight parts of this legendary French TV crime miniseries (set in the US) will be shown in sequential order with several short breaks. At a running time of 360 minutes, the total experience is expected to last seven hours. EM

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), who can do nearly anything behind the wheel. After a chance meeting with his neighbor Irene (Mulligan), sparks begin to fly ... Refn manages to build extraordinary tension before igniting brief outbursts of violence. Sheer brilliance! KE

One Day (7) Dir: Lone Scherfig; UK/US drama, 2011,107 min; Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Patricia Clarkson Everyone could probably point to a past event of which the consequences have literally dictated who and where they are today.

‘One Day’ is a meditation on this theme with a bit more in the mix. Despite being an engaging portrayal of 20 years of contemporary British experience, it is also a saturated love story. The nicely interwoven themes, and the generally believable acting have the film living up to its own ambitious intentions, delivering an emotional punch in the gut.

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 Abduction (11) Dir: John Singleton; US action, 2011, 106 mins; Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Michael Nyquist, Abduction is a fast and furious ride in which violent things will happen whether the plot has prepared for them or not. Realism and filmic integrity are sacrificed for the obligatory and predictable Hollywood-isms. The story runs that one night while working on a school project with a cute girl, Nathan (Lautner) discovers his baby picture on a missing children’s website.

One ill-advised phone call later and he finds himself in a sinister web of corruption and hitmen.

So who is it for? The formula of having a grim subtext frequently eclipsed by scenes of animal magnetism may be suitable for couples out on a date but we need to call a spade a spade - Abduction is frenzied, flashy and, not surprisingly, pretty shallow.

Crazy, Stupid, Love (7) Dir: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa; 2011; 118 mins; Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling Carell re-enacts his 40-Year-Old Virgin character in this fluffy, finely manicured romcom. He and Gosling make an appealing buddy couple, with Gosling alluring as a lithe and ruthless tomcat. Pleasure can be had watching this; however the slapstick finale feels hopelessly banal. AS

Johnny English Reborn Dir: Oliver Parker; UK com, 2011, 101 mins; Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Dominic West Not knowing whether to take itself seriously or be goofball Bean funny, Johnny English Reborn hovers in the dreaded middle ground of comic purgatory.

The latest in a long, long line of Bond parodies, Johnny English Reborn sees Johnny English in a Tibet monastery trying to forget his embarrassing debacle in Mozambique. His superiors in MI7 have all but forgotten about him until a job comes up that only he can do, so he is reluctantly summoned back to the ministry. The comedic theme of getting wiser as one gets older allows our hero to occasionally downplay some scenes to terrific effect. Bottom line: It has some LOL moments and fans of Atkinson will still probably love this movie, though there is less Bean and more Blackadder this time around. KE

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

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

Horrible Bosses (11) Dir: Seth Gordon; 2011; 100 mins; Jason Bateman, Charlie Day Ferociously plot-driven with several hilarious scenes, Horrible Bosses unfolds like dominos tumbling faster and louder. KRG

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. 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

Midnight in Paris (3) Dir: Woody Allen; UK/ France com, 2011, 94 mins; Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams Despite the promising trailer, a sinking disappointment accompanies the realisation that this is going to be one of Woody’s daffier works. 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

Captain America: The First Avenger (15) Dir: Joe Johnston; US action, 2011, 124 mins; Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving Steve Rogers is the small scrawny kid with more ailments than ligaments - the perfect candidate to be turned into a perfect physical specimen. While Johnston doesn’t wow us with anything new this time around, at least he has put together a film worth seeing. KE

PICK O THE W F EEK

Mad Dogs

spor t THE W OF EEK

SV1, Sun 21:30

PICK FOUR of British TV’s most laddish actors, pack them off to their kinsmen’s most popular holiday destination and plunge them face first into their country’s favourite drama subject, and hey presto, you’ve got the plot for Mad Dogs, a new crime series debuting this week.

Four 40-something old friends - John Simm and Philip Glenister (both Life on Mars), Marc Warren (Hustle) and Max Beasley (Bodies) – travel to Majorca at a fifth friend’s invitation, and he is soon murdered.

What follows is an entertaining but daft narrative that The Independent found “horribly compelling”.

“Like any competent suspense thriller, it made you ask questions throughout. The episode bubbled with foreboding, right up to the cliffhanger,” praised the Daily

Telegraph. However the Guardian derided the “blokey thriller with a dream cast”, fearing that the answers to the questions “when they eventually come, will not be satisfactory”.

They might be right – the scriptwriter claims that his biggest influence is Twin Peaks - yeah, try Eldorado.

From 40-somethings wary of dying to teenagers weary of the lying of their polygamous patriarch. Sons of Perdition (SV1, Tue 22:00) is a compelling doc about life in Utah that paints a slightly different picture of Mormon life than Big Love.

When it’s over, you’ll hit Google to find out what happened next, and the result will be a happy one.

The same will be true after you watch The Last Days of Lehman Brothers (DR2, Fri 19:05), which attempts to make the financial crisis

more palatable via a dramatisation.

Elsewhere, we’ve got the newlook Jonathan Ross Show (SV1, Sat 22:55) - fair play to the Swedes as this episode (featuring Lady Gaga, Jamie Oliver and Lee Evans) aired on October 8 so it’s only one week old; there’s the third series of Damages (SV1, Sat 22:15); an interview with former US president Jimmy SV1, Sun 21:30 Mad Dogs Carter (BBC World, Sun 18:10); Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vechicle (BBC Ent, Mon 23:15) takes us inside the world of one of Britain’s most divisive stand-ups; opera fans will enjoy Salzburg Festival’s The Marriage of Figaro (DRK, Mon 20:10); and they don’t come much bigger than Liverpool vs ManUnited (K6, Sat 13:00) in the English Premier League.
