"Mifune"
1999
Directed by Soren Kragh-Jacobsen

Shortly after marrying his employer's daughter, a businessman is informed of the death of his own father. After arriving back at the farm home of his youth, he tries to care for his retarded brother while a relationship blossoms with a new housekeeper--who also happens to be a prostitute in hiding. This third film made under the "Dogma 95" manifesto upholds the rules of the first two (Thomas Vinterberg's The Celebration and Lars von Trier's The Idiots), using only natural lighting, real locations, synchronized sound and hand-held camera work to ensure its authenticity. "A dazzling, post-modern screwball romance" (Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal). Danish with English subtitles. 102 minutes.
