This debut feature by the Danish filmmaker tells the story of Marie who lives in a small fishing town in Denmark with her invalid mother and a father. She’s attractive, and soon experiences all the sexism and restrictions of small-town morality. Then, the growing pains of a healthy, spirited young girl start taking a scary physical turn. We witness one of the most graceful transformations into a werewolf - and Marie embraces her new identity. We start seeing her mother’s unspecified illness in a new light, and the measures taken by her protective father, and the nature of violence and aggression in quiet, religious societies.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
