Gamle mænd i nye biler (2002) Reviews
Wonderful black comedy...
I don't know what all these people are complaining about - I saw this movie in a film festival over here and spent most of the movie trying not to p*** myself with laughter. How the characters get in and out of such completely off the wall situations, and the deadpan way they said some of the lines left me in hysterics. Granted it isn't a perfect film, but it's a good 7/10
few news in...
"Gamle maend in nye biler - Alte Männer in neuen Autos`, the prequel to "I kina spiser de hunde". Part-time-chef and gangster Harald is here again, together with his subordinates, including Vuk and his Serbian body-guard. New among them is a Swedish psychopath, specialized in killing every woman he meets. But not in Denmark. There he meets the love of his life. Like in "I kina..." the cold-storage room becomes the mortuary, cooking becomes side-line. Though Harald's subordinates would rather take part in a pastry competition instead of supporting his criminal machinations. Lasse Spang Olsen made a solid gangster flick but does not come up to "I Kina spiser de honde". Too much action too long, too much violence (esp. against Vuk), that does not result from comic accidents. Therefore, this "prequel" lacks the anarchic sense of humor, one would have expected. Solid, but not as good as "I kina.."
Absolutely hilarious
Comedy at it's best! The humour in this picture varies from lighter more jackass'isch to dark satirical aspects and sometimes borderline evil. The plot is probably totally impossible to explain for someone that hasn't seen it, with twists far beyond comprehension; the turns are as many as they are crazy. The characters are twisted and shows both the best and the worst sides of humanity(or lack thereof). The only thing one could complain about is the music -you could wish for a bit more, but that's just a minor thing. There are several, independent, movies with the same characters which I highly recommend(all danish).
As good as the first one
Naturally most people will compare this with the cult movie In china they eat dogs, since it is a sequel with same characters at most. A comparison is only to value if You have seen the first one of course. Anyway, I would say that I found this more fun then the first but it doesn't mean better. The first has a more serious undertone. And I think it depends on what mode You are in when watching. I didn't have great expectations on this because of the reviews but laughed out loud many times because of silly situations. I would rank both films as 10 stars. So refreshing non-Hollywood made, character, environment. I wouldn't say that this is so much pulp fiction but more Lock stock movie. There are so many holes in the plot but thats not important. You have to look beyond them and take it for what it is. Black humor at it's best, and as good as In China in every aspect.
Old wine in new bottles
The name "Old men in new cars" clearly makes you think of the expression "Old wine in new bottles". In this case it is not in any negative sense - the film shows a lot of inspiration from other movies. Some inspiration comes from Danish folk humor, like "Olsen Banden", some come from the precursor "I Kina spiser de hunde", some come from "Pusher" and so on. Other inspiration comes from American action comedies - if you say Blues Brothers, you say car destruction and especially police car destruction in a very large scale. So that's how I see the old wine in new bottles - these good old themes still work fine. By the way, that's how most sequels work ... There are many other quotes in the action scenes. I won't reveal them all here, but there is some hot action in the Copenhagen Airport as well as in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen (Olsen Banden quote here). The characters in the movie are very one-dimensional with the potential to be one-and-a-half dimensional later on in the movie. This is also typical for action comedies, and as such the stage is set for absurd situations with creative solutions to it. Do see the movie as pure slap-stick bizarre humor, no one should search for more here!
