THE GREEN BUTCHERS (2003) - 20TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING

 Live-Zoom Q&A following the screening with Anders Thomas Jensen

In this dark absurdist comedy from CUFF alumnus Anders Thomas Jensen (MEN & CHICKEN, RIDERS OF JUSTICE), business really starts to pick up for two Danish friends after they accidentally sell a dead electrician as marinated "chicken" at their new butcher shop.

Bjarne and Svend are pals. Svend has great ambition driven by an equally great inferiority complex, while Bjarne hardly cares about anything at all apart from his girlfriend. Starting their own butcher's shop enables them to escape from their vicious boss, but the shop doesn't do well until a bizarre coincidence leads Svend to concoct a new dish for the organic butcher shop. Business takes off, but will they still be able to obtain the ingredients for this special dish? A comedy that combines the trite, the morbid and the amusing.
