Beginners Full Movie Online
Just as life shoots uncontrollable twists and turns at these folks, the characters also turn their attention into mastering the Italian tongue. The focus is meant to ease their frustrations over life and love, to the point where the “beginners” literally beg for a whole new beginning. Conquering the foreign language is a metaphor for the mending of a broken heart or the escape from the vicious circle of daily life. And yet the universe ends up completely in balance.

The highlight of the story is simply watching the six intertwining lives. Hal-Finn (Lars Kaalund) is the obnoxiously funny sports bar manager ordered to get a haircut by the big brass of his business. It’s on this trip to get his hair trimmed that he meets and falls for the local hairdresser named Karen (Ann Eleonora Jørgensen). Karen, in turn, is the sibling of a clumsy-minded bakery employee named Olympia (Anette Støvelbæk). Olympia, it turns out, has an immense crush on her pastor Andreas, who tries to console her about her apparent awkwardness. Meanwhile, pesky hotel manager Jorgen (Peter Gantzler) has a selfish reason for needing to learn the Italian verbiage: He’s smitten with an Italian waitress named Giulia (Sara Indrio Jensen) and wants to score points by impressing her with his new tongue.

Scherfig’s light-hearted profile of emotional desperation is achingly honest and delightfully cheeky. She also manages to follow the Dogme restrictions (handheld camera only, utilization of natural light and sound, absence of a soundtrack, etc.) and gets them to work in her favor. The performances are solid, and Sherfig elevates a simple romantic comedy beyond Hollywood cliché. Consequently, Sherfig’s project is tautly realized, swinging wildly between tragic and comic. Just like life.
Every now and then there comes a group of filmmakers who go out of their way to produce movies that are structured differently in production values. ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS, the 5th Danish Dogme movie, shot in a guerrilla style of movie making, is where script and spontaneity are the order of the day with props, lighting and costumes treated with less importance than in most other movies. This helps to make the film seem familiar in both the settings and characters.

ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS follows a group of 30-35 year-olds who, for various reasons, are brought together at an evening Italian class for beginners. One of the main characters is the unpredictable, football mad Hal-Finn (Lars Kaalund) who works in a hotel bar and whose quick cutting comments to customers constantly get him into trouble. Always wearing a Juventus football jersey, he is not the sort of person the hotel would wish to keep on their books. Watch Beginners Movie Online
