Two Danish comedy legends let Jørgen Leth narrate their midlife crisis. Chaos ensues.
When we wrote 'Nu Som Mennesker', we wanted to try something new. We wanted to invest ourselves in the material in a different way. And develop the stand-up form. We think we succeeded a fair bit along the way. But that kind of thing is a commitment. There's no point in us just making an ordinary filming of the show when we're going to make a DVD. We have to take things the rest of the way. Because if we don't do that, who will? That's why the version of 'Nu Som Mennesker' you're now sitting with is somewhat different to the show we toured with in 2011/2012, although of course it still forms the core. We've played around with the material, added a lot of new things, moved some of the show out into reality, made a music video, let Jørgen Leth tell the story, and anything else we thought would take the show to a new place that fits the format. You have been warned!
Direction

Self-aware narration that mocks the very DVD you're holding.
