Dirch Passer was one of Denmark's all-time most popular comedians. But he was actually a very lonely man, and was haunted by his obsessive, self-destructive desire to gain respect from the critics. Even his non-comic adaptation of Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' causes the audience to laugh. This is a story of fame, and of the well-protected privacy of a broken and doubtful man.

Nikolaj Lie Kaas demonstrates how versatile of an actor he is, and even though his face doesn't know how to smile, and if he tries, you somehow don't believe it, he still managed to play a comedian with all its nuances superbly. The problem is that this is a somewhat traditional story, the kind you'd expect with a biopic about a comedian, but it's Nikolaj who really got me.

This biographical film is adorned especially with great music and a top performance by Nikolaj Lie Kaas as the popular Danish comedian Dirch Hartvig Passer, but although his role on stage was a hilarious clown with countless fans, by and large happiness seemed to avoid him in his private life. In addition to his well-known theatrical performances, the filmmakers also focused on his friendship with his colleague Kjeld Petersen and the great loneliness of his surprisingly introverted nature. I don't know if Dirch's particular style of humor would suit me, but I'd certainly like to see a movie he's been in. (70%)
