Rupture
2011
The film is about the animality that lies latent in the act of sex, and focuses on love and eroticism as a bodily, transcending act. Love and the experience of loss is given concrete physical expression in the film through blood, vomit, sweat and tears. wonderful "Rupture" is far from the more progressive action of a classic film, it is built around an atmospheric intensification that gradually builds to finally release. Both in the action and on the sound side, the film uncovers extreme moods from the swaying, meditative to the uncomfortable and transgressing.

One day at Kongens Nytorv, he spots a man who looks exactly like himself, but this man is dangerous, and when he sees our lead character starring at him - he just goes off and walks directly at him and threatens him not to look at him. The movie explores the feeling of emptiness in a dead man living in the very systematic society, that we live our everyday-life in. And watch it.
