Movie #304 .........................."Kinamand"

Movie #304 "Kinamand" was an unusual film in that it took place in Denmark, but mostly in a Chinese restaurant ---- two very separate languages and cultures come together for an arranged marriage ---- a good love story, but the ending was very surprising to all of us watching it. What a nice, likable cast in a script we've seen before -- the only creative thing here is the meshing of the two cultures. Nice love story and I'm a sucker for those! Kinamand refers to the name he is called when he agrees to marry the chinese lady!




Average rating: 3.71
I would give it 3.9 stars

(2005) NR
In this poignant Danish tale, hapless plumber Keld (Bjarne Henriksen) finds his world crumbling when his wife of 25 years (Charlotte Fich) walks out on him. Dejected, Keld falls into a routine of eating at the local Chinese grill, whose owner offers Keld a sizable sum to wed the man's sister (Vivian Wu) in a marriage of convenience. Will love bloom despite the language barrier and clash of cultures?
