If the story is immensely satisfying in a traditional way, the style has its own delights. Go to Full Review

Dennui S Oct 13 Dogme 95 #3. Rambles along but it stays centered on it's main characters. Very nice film. A man who moved from a small Island farm to Copenhagen must return to his provincial roots when his father dies. Seeking help with running the family farm, he recruits a prostitute running away from her past. The film won the Silver Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival, and was a success in Denmark and internationally. See more dave s 09/02/2021 Straight out of the Dogme 95 school of filmmaking, Mifune features all of the trademarks of the Dogme style – handheld cameras throughout, location shooting, natural lighting, unenhanced sound. Once you get used to the unique stylings of the film, there's a chance that you may come to the realization that Mifune is just a pretty average movie. When notified that his estranged father has died, newlywed Kresten abandons his city life and relocates to the farm where he grew up, tasked with taking care of his mentally disabled brother and, ultimately, a prostitute he has hired to be the housekeeper. It's a decent enough movie with some quirky characters and interesting scenarios, but feels like a movie that will be forgotten about the day after it's been viewed. See more 08/04/2013 if you like "oddball movies", this one's for you. good ensemble cast, especially "liva" and the boy who played her brother. the wedding night scene at the beginning was hilarious. See more 06/03/2013 Another good addition to the Dogme cannon. This tale of rediscovered family members and people who aren't what they appear to be is very entertaining. See more 04/11/2013 Fairly decent Dogme film. While the Dogme rule set only really worked in Festen and was subsequently just a gimmick there were still a few decent movies in the genre and Mifunes sidste sang was one of them. See more 07/18/2011 Junto con "Los Idiotas" de Von trier y "La Celebración" de Vinterberg, este film bien puede ser la tercera joya del movimiento Dogma, aquel en donde el arte volvió para controlar al cine. Cámara en mano conocemos a varios atribulados personajes, convivimos con ellos y descubrimos aquello que les aflige y motiva. No es una comedia negra, tampoco un drama desgarrador como los de Von trier, este inclasiflicable film danà (C)s sólo narra una inviable historia de amor que dará comienzo a una familia totalmente "sui generis". Indispensable. See more Read all reviews
