Just Another Love Story (2007)

Why so much hype?

Masterful Cinema

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I Am A Bit Of A "Clueless" In Denmark's Film Industry, The Only Other Film I Saw From Denmark Is Brothers, This Is The Second Film I've Seen From Denmark And Both Films Were Absolutely Amazing.The Film Is My Idea Of Film-Noir Perfection; You Take An Everyday Man And Put Him As The Protagonist, You Add A Female Love Interest And A Mystery And You Have Your Start. The Plot Is That A Crime Photographer Is Involved In A Car Crash, He Goes To The Other Car And The Victim Mistakes Him For Her Boyfriend, He Visits Her Under The Boyfriend's Name, He Soon Falls In Love With Her Putting His Relationship With His Wife And Kids In Jeoprady...I Don't Actually Want To Tell You Anything Else Because The Less You Know The Better It Will Be When You Sit Down And Watch It.Nikolaj Lie Kaas Surprised Me In This, Overall Because He Played A Completely Different Role In Brothers And He Was Good In The Role But Like In Brothers He Wasn't The Highlight Performance, The Highlight Is Anders Berthelsen, He Pulled Off The Role Perfectly As A Protagonist Who Is Basically "A Normal Man".There Is Going To Be A Remake Of This In About A Year (At This Stage) But Like The Brothers Remake It'll Be Shot For Shot The EXACT SAME MOVIE (Except For A Few Things Where The Americans Won't Be Able To Handle It So They'll Cut It Out Like The Sebastian Character Supposedly Having Sex With The Character Julia While She Was In A Coma(I Personally Think That Scene Was Shown To Show How Disturbed He Really Is)), I Also Will Boycott The Movie And I Will Advise Anyone Else To Do The Same.Overall I Really Enjoyed This Movie, The Only Downpoint Is That You Know The Protagonist's End As Soon As The First Scene Is Over.

Just Another Love Story (2007)Wow, what a great movie. Very European in how it is shot and constructed, and in the realism of the acting. But this is not a "realistic" movie like some of the gritty fictional movies that tend to look like real life, horrors and all. This alternates a highly realistic acting with a layered and deliberately constructed structure to make for an aesthetic experience as well as a narrative one.The plot is involved and is too easily given away, but the meat of it is that a well meaning, likable guy finds that an opportunity to become someone else comes along and it is too tempting to pass up. But only sometimes. And with some hidden strings attached, naturally. His experience in both pairs of shoes is transcendent for him, and worth the sacrifice it seems. It all begins when his car stalls and the car behind him swerves and gets into an accident of its own. He goes to help the driver--a beautiful young woman who has sight problems and amnesia in her recovery.This might sound like a movie convenience, but it's not. The intensity of what follows, and the way the actors make it believable, is stunning. In the simplest form of a recommendation I would say: see this film. It's different without being affected. It's honest and realistic without becoming reality. It moves and intrigues all the way through.A Danish film set mostly in Copenhagen, "Just Another Love Story" is not just another love story a bit. Look for something magical, inventive, and extremely well made.

The person who made the final decision, whoever it was, on the title of this movie, needs to be spanked. Bad job. Just Another Love Story sounds like it's some romantic comedy. Sure it fits the story, but phewy, that title isn't helping anybody, especially the makers of the film to market this well-made flick.Just Another Love Story in a pinch is about a man who stupidly, selfishly and led by hormones is brought into a weird situation where he is now living the life of a different identity. He was Jonas, but now he's Sebestian; Julia's love. Julia's past isn't all that it's cracked up to be, and his new little life as Prince Charming is slowly unraveling.If you're looking to watch a solid thriller with fantastic acting and production values, as well as a film that'll mess with your emotions with each developing scene, then this is a flick you should check out. Good flick, bad title. I like mine better. ;)

I am speechless. This movie is beyond good. It is the epitome of everything that I like about film - a movie that rivals American Beauty, Eternal Sunshine, and Mulholland Drive for artistic masterpiece of the last 10 years. It is a CRIME that this movie is only playing in one theater in New York City. I cannot remember the last time I was this entranced by a film, and in a way I feel lucky that I had the honor of being one of six people in a small theater in the Village watching this. Beautiful, dark, enigmatic, mysterious, erotic, intense, tragic, Symmetric. Perfection.
