The Green Butchers
Pick your cut!
Directed by Anders Thomas Jensen
Produced by M&M Productions
A darkly comedic Danish film that mines grotesque humor from a butcher shop's descent into moral compromise, balanced against the melancholy of a family tragedy.
Svend and Bjarne work for a butcher in a small Danish town. Fed up with their boss' arrogance, they decide to start their own butcher shop. After dismal beginnings, an unfortunate accident happens which coincides with a large order of meat. One hasty decision leads to another and soon the business thrives. In the meantime, Bjarne has to deal with his twin brother who has been in coma for years following a gruesome car accident.
