It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film 'The Hide-A-Way' is one of those special foreign stories which arrives with little or no fan fare and quickly becomes a cult classic. It is a simple tale of a lonely young boy who is befriended by a juvenile offender on the run. Kasper Andersen stars as Møv and Allan Winther as Funder. Theirs is a universal setting of youths growing up with little or no supervision. Each seeks understanding with the problems of life. The younger boy needs a role model, even if he is a criminal. The older boy needs a place to hide while he recalls how a simple argument with a merchant turn into an accidental, yet tragic assault. Together they fill the little niche of their loneliness with warmth and companionship. Their friendship is spontaneous and provides the foundation for a lasting relationship. Excellent movie and one which has already been accepted as a foreign classic. ****

This film is less than an hour in length. Yet as I watched the movie for the first time, I was amazed at how involved I became with the two major characters in this film.The boy (about 11 years old), and man (a criminal), both portray their characters in a believable manner. One of the mystical wonders in the world of film, is that it can somehow lure the viewer into almost "rooting" for the villain - - - which goes against everything that we would normally believe as "right".In essence, this is a film about a boy's world... a youth who has a void in his life when it comes to adult-male guidance.... and he is willing to reach out anyone. When that adult person is also in need, such a bond becomes inevitable.A word of warning to those easily offended by nudity... there is a scene in the latter part of this film with frontal nudity of the man and boy after a shower.For a film that is less than an hour in length, the story is captivating, realistic, and one not soon forgotten.

AKA "The Hideaway" (subtitled in English). Very well made motion picture. Great acting and cinematography. Interesting story of a kid helping out a wounded fugitive. You'll be cheering them on by the end of the movie! The Danish have a wonderful style in making motion pictures. Subtitles didn't detract from the movie. Everyone will enjoy it!
