dexter_greycells As some of the synopsis/summaries say, this is indeed a wickedly dark comedy. What it also is, is a beautiful feel-good story about faith. No, no, no. Don't get me wrong. There's no evangelism or no preaching involved here. It's just that the movie makes you think while you are watching it and even after you are done with it. A few plot-lines may require a leap of faith and most audiences will be fine with that. I highly recommend this as a watch if you don't mind the subtitles.

Roedy Green Adam's Apples is an unusual film in that you instantly dislike all the characters. The Pastor of a church without a congregation is sanctimonious. Life has handed him a long series of cruelties, a father who repeatedly raped him, a wife who committed suicide, a catatonic son, a terminal brain tumour, workers who beat him up. He deals with all this with exaggerated Christian denial. He insists his child runs around and does his homework. He insists nothing bad has ever happened. He lies to a women with a foetus likely to be disabled, using his own "happy" experience.This denial drives his skinhead Nazi worker crazy. Another worker shoots people on whim. Another is grossly obese, a pervert, and a kleptomaniac.Then the magic "glorious messenger" highly improbable happy ending made possible by divine intervention. The message is creepy and disgusting, that somehow god exists and despite everything, is perfect, despite his sadistic tinkering. The crazy pastor was right all along.It contains scenes of crow and cat killing.It is original and fascinating in a car wreck sort of way.

beesofia I honestly haven't seen a movie like this before...quirky, dark, moody and sometimes violent...Adam's Apples had me tied in knots by the end of the movie! What I am discovering about Danish film is that you actually get to know all of the characters and their quirks...then, most of the story evolves around how the individual characters interact with each other.Strange as it may seem, I could relate to each and every character and how they dealt with what life threw at them...even the doctor was weird but interesting.I can't express enough how fantastic this movie is...if you are curious about Danish Film...watch this first!

lewiskendell "Let's stop with the accusations. It was an old cat. He just happened to fall down while we were shooting."There are dark comedies. There are pitch black comedies. And then, there's Adam's Apples.If you want to watch a movie that takes some of the most depressing, horrible things you can think of, and makes them absolutely hilarious, this is the movie for you.I won't spoil much of the story, as watching what unexpectedly happens throughout is one of the pleasures of the movie. It begins with a priest named Ivan driving an unrepentant neo-Nazi named Adam from prison to the church where he will be performing his community service. Ivan gives Adam the choice of one goal to set for himself to complete, before he leaves. Ivan, completely uncaring, chooses to make an apple pie from the apple tree outside the church, once they are ripe.From there, things quickly get out of hand. Let's just say that the sensitive need not apply. I recommend Adam's Apples to people with a dark sense of humor, who are fine with laughing at incredibly inappropriate (yet incredibly amusing) things. This movie was made for people like you and me. I'm not referring to low-brow humor. This is a different animal. An utterly unique (as far as my experience goes), intelligent comedy that ultimately brings sunshine forth from some of the darkest clouds you've ever seen (both figuratively and literally).
