"
Adam's Apples" is a story about belief and redemption set in a small Danish town. Adam, a thuggish, taciturn convict, is paroled to a church community run by an eccentric but charismatic preacher (Mads Mikkelsen, now of Bond fame). He is at first horrified by the seeming hypocrisy of the motley community, made up mostly of ex-cons like himself, and he takes pleasure in showing up his fellows. But subsequent events radically challenge his view of the world.
I found the film fresh, original and thought-provoking. It's well-shot and the acting is flawless. The mode of humour really is quite dark - which is no doubt a warning for some, and a recommendation for others!
Film Movement's DVD transfer is super - a great picture with no noticeable compression artefacts.
