Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Vesterbro trilogy captured 1970s Copenhagen's transformation from working-class slum to gentrifying district, making Per's stability almost documentary.
Jesper Klein improvised heavily; director Kristensen kept rolling when Klein and Nissen went off-script, creating the film's loosest, funniest moments.
