What a strange film... a very good one, mind you.
The cast do great work in this 2005 release. Mads Mikkelsen being the obvious standout - top performance! Ulrich Thomsen doesn't really do all that much necessarily, yet still manages to make a big impact with his showing - amusing, by the way, how much hair can change the way you see someone, that ending is quite the mild cranium contort*!
I'm not really all that sold on what the film attempts to tell, but I can't deny that I had a pleasant time watching it all unfold. I wouldn't actually say it features that strong humour, perhaps some of it was lost in translation (Viaplay's subs were iffy in patches), but all that's there is enough. There is one joke at the death that is probably one of the most insulting, hitting both racist and ableist, that I've ever heard - black comedy, I know, I know.
Aside from all that, final notes: sound and cinematography - super atmospheric in parts. Would I recommend 2005's 'Adam's Apples'? Ja.
*did i find that phrase on google for a more polite way of saying mindf#k - maybe

The best movie I've seen in two years!
It is full of charm and fills one with hope.
Everyone that loves movies at least a little should add this tho his personal bucket list.

Ok, I admit that to be a black comedy "Adam's Apples" is neither very funny nor very deep, but if you will watch it with some lightheartedness, it will please you. The movie has its absurd moments.

Pure presentation of a bigott christian with a lot of intelligent humor.

One of the best comedies of all time, also Mads Mikkelsen at his best.
