It's the crazies

By Derek Malcolm

A young, Danish graffiti artist constantly flouts society's rules but, as his fat best friend is wont to complain, always gets away with it.

Then he meets a beautiful girl. Can she redeem his nonchalant soul? Dagur Kari's stylish, b&w drama owes something to the work of Kevin Smith and Hal Hartley, but fails to balance whimsy with true weirdness.

While our hero is meant to be punchable at the start, a good bludgeoning, in my opinion, wouldn't have gone amiss at the end.
