Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A Source Brief Review Flick Filosopher: Lies, Damned Lies, and Family Lies "The avant-garde movement in filmmaking known as Dogme (or Dogma) 95 -- which eschews any artistic pretensions or artifice in the making of a movie -- was conceived by directors in Copenhagen in 1995." more... James Berardinelli (3 out of 4 stars) "It's refreshing to see a movie in which there are no special effects, no camera tricks, and no incidental music to strum on a viewer's emotional strings." more... Mr Showbiz (53 out of 100) "An evocatively photographed country idyll about an impromptu dysfunctional family, Kragh-Jacobesen's 'Mifune' is so Hollywood in its narrative telegraphing and heartwarming contrivancees that you can easily imabine it starring Matthew Broderick, Oliver Platt, and Charlize Theron." more... New York Times "In 1995 the Danish filmmakers Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg promulgated a list of 10 principles -- the now notorious Dogma 95 "vow of chastity" -- in the hope of rescuing world cinema, once again, from decadent bourgeois individualism." more... Orlando Weekly Movies (3 out of 5 stars) " It's the kind of amusing but cornball scenario where a group of lovable outsiders bands together to survive in the big old cruel world." more... Seattle Times: 'Mifune' is most entertaining of 'Dogma 95' movement films "Bored with the costume pictures he'd been making, veteran Danish director Soren Kragh-Jacobsen returned to his roots with 'Mifune,' a lilting, contemporary screwball comedy-romance he compares to the movies he first directed in the 1970s." more... Spliced Online "Ashamed of his poor, rural upbringing, Kresten -- a fast-rising Copenhagen yuppie who just married the boss' daughter -- has always told his new wife and in-laws that he has no living relatives." more... Village Voice: True to Formula "'Mifune,' a/k/a Dogma 3, hews about as closely as its forerunners to the collective's tenfold Vow of Chastity (i.e., kinda), but it differs in one key respect." more...
