I’m writing this at the Kabuki, and I’ll be quick.

I just saw a very funny comedy from Denmark called Just Like Home. It follows several people in a small town that’s thrown into confusion from reports of a man running naked through the strees. Director/co-writer Lone Scherfig builds a quiet tone that works up to big laughs and heartfelt (although not particularly deep) human observations. Best in the cast: Ann Eleanora Jørgensen as a refugee from religious fanaticism. She reminded me a bit of Francis McDormand, and could make the audience laugh by drinking a glass of water. Highly recommended.

It screens again on Sunday at 4:00 and Tuesday at 9:15, both screenings at the Kabuki. You will probably never get another chance to see it again.
