A close-knit Danish family struggles with loss in Forever, Frelle Petersen’s drama that debuted at the San Sebastian Film Festival. Shortlisted by Denmark as its submission for the International Feature Oscar (Holy Spider was ultimately selected as the entry), it’s a quiet, thoughtful charmer that observes its characters with affection and respect.
Jette Søndergaard puts in a dignified performance as Line (translated as Lily in the English subtitles), happily married but stressed about trying for a baby via IVF. She and her husband spend a lot of time with her mother Maren (Mette Munk Plum) and Egon (Ole Sørenson), who runs a coffee shop with Line’s brother.

Forever is a thought-provoking reflection on the psychology of grief, with poignant moments that show Egon and his daughter working together to find comfort. Recalling that her brother had a passion for roasting coffee, Line encourages her father to learn how to roast the special beans that he ordered. The bag of coffee beans becomes symbolic, each cup taking on fresh meaning. There’s also gentle comedy when Maren insists on taking Line’s husband shopping, suggesting that his tight underpants may be responsible for fertility issues.

Nothing has illustrated the current turmoil in British politics quite as starkly as the recent tanking of the pound against the dollar, a puzzle even to the ruling party whose prime minister and chancellor caused it. Richard Eyre’s fitfully funny Allelujah reflects this schism in more ways than one, balancing broad grey-pound comedy and seriously macabre drama with the result that a seemingly gentle satire inexplicably dives into a murky existential abyss in its final act. Even fans of Alan Bennett, the famously folksy playwright and national treasure of the north, will struggle with the juxtaposition of wry bathos and savagery, the latter ramped up from Allelujah’s original incarnation as a Bennett stage play sprinkled with Dennis Potter-style song-and-dance numbers.
