As good a film as I've seen in years; I can't wait to start dragging friends over to watch it with strong cheese and beer.
I do have a serious question about the title, though. Translated into English, the Danish title would be "Men and Hens", which is ambiguous and quite amusing. Instead, someone at the distribution end renamed it "Men and Chicken", which at first glance just looks like bad English (shouldn't there be an "s" at the end?), and at second glance hints at pedophilia.
Is that really the best way to sell a clever and serious film with very dark philosophical overtones?
Regardless, anyone who likes thoughtful and utterly unexpected twists in their stories should see "Men and Hens". You'll love it.
