Summary of Flickering Lights
Many films have been made about young men who run in gangs who never seem to grow. The crew in this Danish gangster comedy are well into adulthood and still haven't outgrown the petty crimes they commit with the crew. Fleeing from a crime spree, they see a more legit future in an abandoned building as the old friends decide to renovate and open a restaurant in this hiding place they have stumbled upon. Now, these motley crew, who weren't even skilled in making a living illegally, attempt to turn the lives around while turning the restaurant business upside down. Combining a brutish gangster sensibility with a gentle sense of humor, director Anders Thomas Jensen (screenwriter of MIFUNE) has constructed an unusually sweet comedy about ruffians.
