Copenhagen (2014) – Movie Trailer

Director: Mark Raso
Stars: Gethin Anthony, Frederikke Dahl Hansen, Sebastian Armesto, Olivia Grant, Mille Dinesen, Baard Owe, Tamzin Merchant

Copenhagen is the type of indie coming-of-age story that tends to appear at every movie festival at least once, and it just so happens to be a very good version of that genre. The film, set in, yes, Copenhagen, tells the story of a not-so-young man named William partying through Europe. Once he reaches Denmark, however, he must finally contend with a fraught family history, even as he falls for a local girl named Effy. While the film’s tone definitely feels in-line with a ’90s Ethan Hawke vehicle, it has a nuanced take on aging and relationships that’s all its own. Everyone has to get older whether they like it or not, and Copenhagen is smarter and more mature than it has any right to be.
