Full Plot Details

Well-known Danish actor Nicolas Bro reigns supreme in the role of Nicolas Bro. Bro's marriage is on the rocks, his wife Lene has grown tired of their relationship, but instead of grabbing the bull by the horns, Bro decides to save his marriage by filming a love story with him and Lene playing the lead roles - as themselves. Bro's good director friend Christoffer Boe lends him a camera and suggests that he films everything - a piece of advice that Bro takes far too literally. Bro's constant filming succeeds in driving both his friends and wife nuts, and Lene ends up moving to a secret address in Berlin. Bro's plans thus die a sudden death, but obsessed by the idea of completing his film, Bro hires Danish actress Trine Dyrholm to play his wife, Lene. Alas, nothing goes according to plan and Bro's last hope of reclaiming his lost love is to seek out Lene in Berlin. It is a journey that gradually causes Bro to come apart at the seams in his increasingly desperate attempt to register his life on film.

Film Threat - 8/10 by Jeremy Mathews[Director] Boe and co-writer Knud Romer Jorgensen move what could have been a self-indulgent mess unpredictably as their star continues to lose his grasp on reality and find a way to make a satisfying story.
User Review - 10/10 by Casper COne of the cleverest movie I have ever seen. Christopher Boe is so talented!!!
User Review - 8/10 by Per SDIY filmmaking is bigger than ever before, thanks to online outlets where any wannabe can showcase what they shot with their personal camera and edited with some chintzy program that came with their computer. The Blair Witch Project helped cultivate a specific type of psuedo-documentary, wherein the characters in the film control the camera while the action takes place. The Danish film Offscreen blurs the line between reality and the script in the most successful way since that 1998 horror hit. Director Christoffer Boe loans a camera to actor Nicolas Bro so that Bro can make a documentary on love, specifically his relationship with his wife (Lene Christiansen). The film opens with Bro running naked, blood-soaked down darkened avenues with the camera in tow, pointed directly at his own face. We are told that Bro has disappeared, and Boe has assembled all of the footage we see from the tapes that Bro shot to create this documentary. We discover that Nicolas Bro and Lene are not the perfect couple that Bro would have you believe them to be. Broâ??s intended film is meant to draw their crumbling marriage closer together, but Broâ??s obsessive filming and clingy, uncomfortable ways of showing affection drive Lene away. From that point on, Bro almost makes the camera his surrogate lover, devoting all of his time and energy into filming the grand love story that he simply wonâ??t let go of, at one point hiring an actress to play Lene and reenact their marriage with a happier ending. Bro is profoundly pathetic and his decline as he loses everything, all due to his reluctance to put down the camera, is chronicled in heart-wrenching detail. Itâ??s the most realistic film about a socially retarded loner since Taxi Driver, and the worst part is that Bro is just adept enough at social situations to have had friends and lovers. When Lene leaves him, whatever social instincts he had disappear over the filmâ??s running time. By the end, which reveals the truth behind the shocking footage from the start of the film, Bro is an empty shell of a human, no longer aware of anything but the camera and his own misery. I donâ??t know anything about Boe or Bro, but theyâ??ve created a bold, dramatic film that is at times, supremely uncomfortable to watch. Offscreen is brutally realistic, and it is easy for anyone that has had their heartbroken for no evident reason to relate to Bro. That hook makes it easy to get drawn into his story, and all the more squirm-inducing as things get worse and worse. You really do wish someone would just go take care of the guyâ??snatch his camera away and nurse him back to good mental health. That doesnâ??t happen in Offscreen.
User Review - 8/10 by J. D¿Quieres saber cómo debe lucir un largometraje en digital? Christoffer Boe apuesta por utilizar nuevas tecnologías y cambia el estilo narrativo, mezclando ficción con realidad de una forma intensa y escalofriante, haciendo esa sutil línea divisoria aún más difícil de entender.
User Review - 8/10 by Rasmus NNicolas Bro in the role as Nicolas Bro on his way down the drain in this metamovie by Christoffer Boe. It's a weird concept but it makes the movie more believable. As the movie progresses you get a sense of what is going to happen, but nothing really prepares you for it. Nicolas Bro delivers an outstanding and in some ways brave performance as a man who basically just lost his loved one and is trying to get her back.
User Review - 8/10 by Silas LWow it seems that Nicolas Bro is the new Jesus in the name of love or pain..
User Review - 8/10 by Private ULol it looks like Im the one only whos seen this Danish film in Flixster. However I failed to get a hold of the storyline. Keywords: Old bus driver, the head of Phillips, tvs, wide-screen tv, brainwash, hostage? Yeah its pretty confusing.
User Review - 8/10 by Miguel IFuckin scared the living crap out of me... This kind of a movie is what keeps me wondering "What else can be told that hasn't?"
User Review - 6/10 by Sara P(hkiff 2007) felt nauseous watching this... though the plot is pretty cool in a way....
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel Nit surely made an impression, but as said by others "uncomfortable to watch" yes
