Danish director Anders Thomas Jensen reunites with star Mads Mikkelsen for a delightfully absurdist horror-come-comedy full of fist fights, bad haircuts, questionable progressive optimism and moving personal revelations.

Mikkelsen stars as Elias, one of two brothers whose father’s death sends them to the otherworldly island of Ork to try and make sense of who they are. It’s one hell of a special place, where life is basic, humour is bawdy, pheromones rage and unusual passions are indulged – where you’re equally likely to get whacked with a blunt instrument as to be invited to partake in a spot of bestiality.

If that sounds a little weird.. well, yes it is. It’s an animalistic comedy that is black as pitch and occasionally outrageous (and politically incorrect) but rest assured it has the sweetest of hearts.
