It's a familiar story: hardened cop gets too involved with the city life, has a breakdown, and is transferred to a quaint little town with a seedy underbelly. However in the Danish film Terribly Happy, this classic cop story takes a strange and twisted turn. Officer Robert Hanson leaves Copenhagen for a rural town in Denmark to take a recently vacated Marshall position and encounters some interesting characters right off the bat. There's the married femme fatale vying for Hanson attention, the town bully who beats his wife, the general odd behavior of the town people. And how could you forget the dozens of bodies that keep showing up dead in the mud? Hanson struggles to find a balancing point in his new position while trying to keep ties back in Copenhagen healthy. Think the wit of a Coen Brothers crime film with more violence and murder.
Terribly Happy opens at the Musicbox Theatre March 5th. Tickets are $9.25 and can be purchased at the box office.
