� e NutcrackerGamle Scene, Kongens Nytorv, 1055 Cph K; ends Thu; performances Fri 19:30, Sat 13:00, Sun 13.00 & 17.00, Tue-Thu 19:30; tickets 95–695kr, very few tickets re-main; 45-min intro before performances in the balcony foyer; www.kglteater.dk

FOR MANY FAMILIES – especially in America – Christmastime doesn’t begin be-fore they have been to a performance of e Nutcracker. ere are tonnes of di« erent ver-sions of it, spanning endless traditional ones set to Tchaikovsky’s music from 1892, as well as modern adaptations. When the New York Times’s dance critic, Alastair Macaulay, put himself on what he called a “sugarplum diet” last year and saw around 20 perform-ances of e Nutcracker from coast to coast, he found everything from special Jewish and X-rated Nutcrackers, to one featuring George Washington, and even a gay and lesbian dance-along production. In late December Macaulay concluded: “Too many ballet cho-reographers are rhythmically too regular and predictable; one of the great pleasures of Bal-anchine’s choreography is his feel for synco-pation and rhythmic surprise. Tchaikovsky’s score is really a smorgasbord of rhythms, but only a few choreographers are wise to this.”

e Royal Danish Ballet has danced vari-ous Nutcrackers since the mid 20th century: recently a hip-hop version in 2003 and a bi-zarre one with lots of mirrors staged by the company’s then principal dancer Kenneth Greve in 2007. To obtain Balanchine’s chore-ography for his company, the ballet’s current artistic director, Nikolas Hübbe, has allegedly been lobbying the Balanchine Trust since tak-ing over the Royal Danish Ballet in 2008. Hübbe knew Balanchine’s Nutcracker well from being a member of the New York City Ballet since the early 1990s, the company for which Balanchine originally created the ballet in 1954.

While this version has previously been performed in Europe on less than a handful of occasions, Copenhagen is currently the only European city where audiences can see Balanchine’s Nutcracker.

e Á rst act – a 19th century Christmas party in the upper-class household of the Stahlbaum family – becomes the Royal Dan-ish Ballet. e act relies largely on the charm of those company members who aren’t grant-ed that sort of prominence on stage through-out the rest of the year: character dancers (older dancers who no longer perform spec-tacular jumps and head-turning pirouettes, but take those parts in a ballet that focus on

acting) and children (who aren’t strictly mem-bers of the company but are pupils at the at-tached school). Lis Jeppesen shines as the party’s hostess and Pelle Nilsson in the role of her son Fritz doesn’t fail to remind us in admi-rable detail of the exquisite fun there is to be had in bullying siblings under the Christmas tree.

At the party appears Herr Drosselmeier, godfather to the Stahlbaum’s daughter Marie. He introduces his nephew, produces gifts and entertainment – much to the children’s delight – and presents Marie with a wooden nutcracker. After the party, Marie falls asleep with the present in her arms. But late at night, she wakes up to witness strange happenings in the living room: giant mice scurry into the house that is now being defended by Fritz’s human-sized toy soldiers. Marie’s Nutcracker leads the soldiers into battle with the mice. But the rodents prove too tough to drive from the Á eld, until Marie throws her slipper at the vicious Mouse King and the Nutcracker slays him. is breaks a spell and turns the Nut-cracker into a handsome prince whom Marie easily identiÁ es as Drosselmeier’s nephew.

e young couple glides away on Marie’s bed and the Á rst act ends with them arriv-ing at a scenery that is easily the most visu-ally splendid I have seen staged in a ballet: in a snow storm of brilliance, white confetti, projected spots and members of the corps de ballet all dance as snowÈ akes to Tchaikovsky’s astounding music.

e ballet’s story about Marie, her Nut-cracker, their Christmas party and the noc-

turnal battle they get involved in afterwards is pretty much told by then. is might be the reason why audiences generally prefer the Á rst act to the second. But while this staging’s charm and Anthony Ward’s fabulous setting make for a fetching Á rst act, most of the danc-ing in Balanchine’s version happens in act two – and how the dancers deliver!

Marie and the prince arrive in the Land of Sweets and are greeted by its matriarch, the Sugarplum Fairy. Susanne Grinder interprets the role with a masterful È irtatiousness and it is adorable to watch Grinder, who last proved her acting talent as the hilarious Ballerina in Jerome Robbins’s e Concert, proudly present her realm of sweets. “I’ve been in many Nutcrackers, but this is my Á rst Sugar-plum,” she says. “Balanchine’s steps are eter-nally musical, so it’s a pure pleasure to dance them. e grand pas de deux is normally very classical like in Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, but because this is Balanchine’s ver-sion we try to perform it in a less formal way – Balanchine always makes room for some energetic twists and room to stretch and devi-ate from the formal.”

e second act then consists of very dif-ferently tempered dance numbers in which the corps dancers’ performance is especially remarkable. Regarding the soloists, Jón Axel Fransson as the Candy Cane is the most spectacular and Amy Watson dazzles as the Dewdrop amongst her stunningly costumed È owers.

Go nuts for Balanchine’s Xmas cracker

inside this week

TWO YEARS AGO in this very column I confessed that I lie to my children in an e« ort to be climate-friendly: “When my daughter leaves a tap running I tell her she’s È ooded the downstairs neighbours, who just happen to be Bangladeshi.”

ese were the words of a man with hope in his heart, because when the climate summit was hosted in Co-penhagen, it really felt like we were all involved and really part of some-thing – like this could be it, and we were about to rewrite history.

Or maybe I should have paid more attention as I was too busy (we went daily during Cop15) trying to Á nd events, shops and restaurants for these super important climate delegates to visit during their two weeks here. I didn’t even know it was an annual event. I thought the ‘Cop’ stood for Copenhagen.

If I’d known then what I know now – that these super important climate delegates get their jollies every year in some exotic location (even the local prostitutes were of-fering it up for free to them - see G8

for this week’s rather seedy Going Underground) and achieve abso-lutely nothing – I would have sent them on a wild goose chase. Some-thing like a tour of the biker bars in Amager, a game of chicken on Gammel Kongvej, and a restaurant recommendation on the bottom of the Sound.

Since then Cops 16 and 17 have been two more damp squibs. Let’s face it: continuing Á nancial crisis + fossil fuel dependence + emerging nations = no consensus for 50 years.

But does that mean that we all should give up, like the thousands in this country who feel justiÁ ed about throwing everything away because it all gets burnt and the generated energy warms our houses. Because two years ago I wrote the following words (“I decided to hold a climate conference of our own, at home. True, we didn’t reach a household consensus, but once we do we’ll meet the neighbours, and then the next apartment building, address by block, street by district etc”) and what have I done?

Nothing! I haven’t had a con-È ict with a neighbour since 1985. I might recycle, but when am I going to start telling strangers they don’t need to wrap their vegetables in ten plastic bags. But somehow I’ve got to change, because willing the Á ght against climate change isn’t enough anymore.

MozartBetty Nansen Teatret, Fred-eriksberg Alle 57, Frederiks-berg; ends Jan 15, perform-ances Sat 17:00, Mon, Tue & Thu 20:00; tickets: 150–360kr; www.bettynansen.dk

e team behind the theatre gigs Gasolin’, Come Together and Bob Dylan are back. ey’ve been given the ultimate challenge – to create a theatre show based on Mozart’s music. With a sense of timing and dizzying costumes, the unreasonable Cederholm & Co takes you on a journey through Mozart’s world of famous com-positions, as you’ve never seen or heard them before. Rediscover Mozart’s big hits in a new guise with some fantastic singers and actors. EM

Cavalleria Rusticana & PagliacciStore Scene, Operaen, Ekvi-pagemestervej 10, 1438 Cph K; ends Feb 4, 20:00 (unless stated) on Sat, Mon; tickets 95-1,250kr; 180 mins incl in-termission; Italian with Dan-ish titles; www.kglteater.dkEnjoy two operas for the price of one: Pietro Mascagni and Rug-gero Leoncavallo’s widely admired works from 1890 and 1892 re-spectively. e pairing of the two (colloquially referred to by aÁ cionados as the ‘Cav and Pag’ double-bill) was Á rst tried in 1893 and has become a favourite with audiences ever since. Somehow the themes of adultery, hypocrisy, drinking and to-the-death duel-ling (Cavalleria) dovetail nicely with those of uncontrollable pas-sion, violence, poisoning, and murder (Pagliacci). KRG

nal production of the children’s classic Cinderella, which has been penned by the director Barry McKenna, a winner of the Reumert Award, Denmark’s foremost prize for the perform-ing arts. Panto involves musical numbers, loud costumes, and plenty of drag. High jinks ensue, and the audience is encouraged to yell, scream, boo, and cheer the villains and the heroes. If the lines “He’s behind you” and “Oh no, it isn’t” aren’t familiar, don’t worry, they will be by the time it’s Á nished. McKenna’s given the plot a welcome update, with lots of juicy parts. And rest as-sured that the many sexual en-tendres and innuendos – as vital to a good panto as drag and slap-stick – È y over the heads of the younger audience. ey might get the joke, but in a È ashback ten years from now.

I T’S HARD TO know what Frank Zappa would think of a tribute act. In one sense, his well estab-lished ego would probably � nd it � attering, yet his dedication to musical perfection would mean

he’d be critical of those trying to emulate him. ­ e intricacy and sheer di� culty of Zappa’s songs mean only the most accomplished musicians can play them, and the Frank Zappa Live Event are giving it their honest best.

Despite being recognised as one of the most in� u-ential and talented musicians of all time, Frank Zappa’s music remains relatively unknown. His far-reaching in� uences and styles, coupled with a sense of the outra-geous, have resulted in music that has always been di� -cult to pigeonhole. While some tracks can be hummed along to, others are almost too obscure to bear, with his lyrics hovering somewhere between the o� ensive and the insane. What characterises Zappa’s music – and his diverse and proli� c career that spanned multiple dec-ades – is an unmistakable originality.

Before his untimely death at the age of 53, Zappa released more that 60 records. Not content with sim-ply playing on the records, he most often produced them as well, having direct in� uence over all areas of production. With styles including rock, jazz, classical composition and almost anything considered ‘avant-garde’, Zappa’s early releases were applauded for their originality and risk taking. ­ roughout his career he continued to push the boundaries, singing about a range of anti-establishment themes that took aim at organised religion, education, politics, and any other aspect of society he felt like attacking. He remains one of the most revered musicians of all time, having been inducted into every major hall of fame there is.

­ e Frank Zappa Live Event came to life in 1996 thanks to three Danish friends: Oren Nørup, ­ omas Ulstrup and Lars Studs. All accomplished soloists in their own right, they came together to play Zappa’s songs as much for the challenge as anything else. When it became clear they could not only play Zappa’s com-plex songs, but also reinterpret them, the trio began to recruit other musicians, building up a band dedicated to recreating Zappa’s universe.

As well as playing Zappa’s relatively few well-known songs, the group attempts to link Zappa’s mu-sic into some kind of coherent arrangement. By giv-ing their setlist a sense of connectedness, they attempt to make sense of what Zappa was essentially about, paying tribute to the man, while pushing his messages further. ­ e act focuses on humour as well as social commentary – two essential aspects of Zappa’s career.

Now boasting a nine-piece band drawn from Denmark and Sweden, the Frank Zappa Live Event have become something of an underground sensa-tion. Not content with simply playing Zappa’s songs, the band focuses on visuals as well, providing a more rounded sensory experience that Zappa would no doubt approve of. ­ e accomplished musicians in the band are not afraid to improvise, adding their own brand of chaos to that of Zappa’s. ­ is is a must-see for any Zappa fan.

Indie darlings the Raveo-nettes gave an unstoppable, unforgettable show at Store

Vega on Saturday in a perform-ance that saw the enigmatic danish shoegazing duo cement their well-established reputa-tion as one of the best local acts on the current scene. With the memories of a decent Roskilde Festival performance still lin-gering in the minds of many present at Saturday’s show, and the rising success of their latest album Raven In The Grave, the new York City-based Raveo-nettes had plenty to live up to on the night.

Sharin Foo and Sune Wagn-er straddled the fine line between the more sentimental sound of their everly Brothers inspired lyricism and the wittier, more upbeat dimension of their music with a sophisticated sense of per-fection that was as spellbinding as it was entertaining. The show

Nightlifewas anything but a bombastic, stadium-filing affair, but rather a more intimate, well-woven two hours of dreamy adventures in the surreal and spacey sounds of alternative rock, delicately capped with a personal touch from the group’s distinguishable sound.

The switch between the cap-tivating, nomadic sounds of the band – epitomised by the likes of ‘War in Heaven’ and more ab-stract numbers such as ‘Appari-tions’ – was typical of the duo’s eloquent juxtaposition of con-trasting influences and styles and gave a refreshing sense of varia-tion to a concert that compelled and mystified all at once. This creative exchange left one feeling lost and outer-worldly at times, and at others compelled to sway from side to side in collective ap-preciation with an almost-sold out audience.

And while the Raveonettes were on top of their game almost throughout, one may arguably have been left thirsting for a bit more engagement on their part, if for nothing else to break the monotony of the introspective, non-confrontational shoegaz-ing style that dominated the

better part of the concert. This didn’t stop the audience calling them back, not once but twice, for a grand finale that ebbed off elegantly with the appropri-ately placed, well-delivered ‘The Christmas Song’, a tune that summarised all that was good about the night. Ultimately, Sat-

urday’s show will be remembered most for the unique chemistry between Foo and Wagner, stark and palpable at times, and at oth-ers consigned to the background by the overpowering drone of upbeat guitar arrangements and colourful cacophonies.

Taking a different musi-cal decade each week, Frankie revisits the psychedelic 1970s this week with a bunch of in-house dJs – including Lorenzo Woodrose from the Copenha-gen-based psychedelic group Baby Woodrose – playing the decade’s most iconic tunes.

LIFESTYLE

FOR THE SECOND TIME I’m pay-ing close attention to the menu that I´ve just been handed, wondering to myself: is it so hot in here that I can barely focus, or do I really have to take o· my freshly-culled baby seal fur hat in order to decipher today´s special?

“Excuse me, but 300 kroner for a Fransk?! What is a Fransk exactly, or a Dansk for that matter?” I hear myself ask the tropically-attired lady stand-ing in front of me, tapping her foot in rhythm to the cheap eurodance com-ing out of the tiny speakers, and not so patiently waiting to take my order. My partner in crime butts in, some-what patronisingly, as you would to a kid caught red-handed: “Don´t worry about the price, my friend - it´s on the house.” (Note to readers: 300 kroner for a hotdog is de¬ nitely not the right price to pay in central Copenhagen).

It’s then I remember my girlfriend. “She´s been waiting at the bar for an hour and we were only supposed to take a quick look at your art collection, right? [we did: shopping carts printed onto doormats, that kind] so I guess that we should get moving, pronto!”

He shakes his head in slow disap-proval. But this is my pink-tinted fu-ture with MY lady and our blue-eyed, blonde-haired kids running around our backyard.

We make a move. ª is guy is even crazier than I am - in a totally di· erent league. How did we get from the cosi-ness of the Bo-Bi Bar to this antecham-ber of doom in less than ¬ ve minutes? Maybe the light-speed stop we took in his super massive leathery monster of a

car might explain this ever so slight time warp.

We’d grabbed a bottle of wine and kissed every single girl in sight as if we owned the place - he does actually, I checked - before exiting just as quickly to a chorus of sighs and shouts. Dra-matically he looks at me and says with his almost charming accent: “Just as the song goes, mate, you’ve got to à y like a tiger and walk like an eagle,” or some-thing of that ilk. And then, after what seems like a million-year pause:”Hey, what do you say we go to a strip club now?”

“Remember my girlfriend?”“Oh yeah, she would not want to

miss that, right? Let´s go and pick her up!”

And ¬ nally, there she is, beautiful, as only a super disappointed Danish women can look against an invisible northern moonlight, fuming, or rather, about to explode like a ¬ recracker.

“Where the hell have you been for so long?!”

“Oh, you know, just checking out some art, shopping carts printed onto doormats, that kind of stu· , really in-teresting ... er ... fancy going to a strip club, chérie?”

BO-BI bar Klareboderne 14, 1115 Cph K; open Mon-Sun 13:00-01:00; 3312 5543; mobile phones prohibitedMy favourite bar in Copenhagen. I ac-tually met the ghost of Robert Johnson there, mixed with the soul of Django Reinhart, trying to buy some fresh sec-ond-hand souls from a Korean exchange

student. Mingle with the dead poets and legendary musicians encrusted in the century-old crimson walls. If it gets too poetically heavy, ask for ‘the crying tiger’.

VernissagesArt galleries, first Thursday of the month ª e wildest night of the month attracts the wildest crowd in town - the whole of next month’s column will be dedi-cated to the art-form of ¬ nding the best ones.

Bordellos and strip joints In France, all the bordellos were closed almost immediately after the end of the Second World War by a lady remem-bered as ‘La veuve qui clot’ (‘the locking up widow’) so I must say they´re quite exotic to an Generation X Frenchman like me. You’re never far from one in the city. Likewise strip joints – especially try between Istedgade and Vesterbrogade near the Central Station. ª ey tend to be seedier and more downmarket than the business-like ones you ¬ nd in most other Western cities.

AH, GENTRIFICATION, the perennial curse of migrants and the working classes. Imagine this: you migrate to a new country and establish your family in an inner-city area. More immigrants follow from your region and others, settling in the same place. Specialty shops, cafes and restaurants start to appear to serve the diversity of the grow-ing population. Within no time, words and phrases like ‘multi-ethnic’, ‘melting pot’ and ‘dynamic’ start to be thrown around. First the hippies come, followed by the students and hipsters, and ¼ nally the young profes-sionals. Soon yummy mummies in way-farers are chatting to their graphic designer husbands on the sidewalks. Ph. D disserta-tions on the post-structuralist readings of Kubrick ¼ lms are typed on shiny macbooks over Turkish tea and kebabs. Suddenly your neighbourhood is expensive, over-hyped and full of trendy bars selling micro-brewed beers and shops that only seem to stock one item. Welcome to Nørrebro. Not that I’m complaining of course.

In the haze of cosy cafes and bars that populate the side streets oº Nørrebrogade, it is rare to ¼ nd one owned by a local – or at least someone who hasn’t moved to Nørre-bro in the past decade. Café Arabica is a new addition to the area, but its owner certainly isn’t. Naim Al Kassab, Palestinian by origin, was born and bred in Nørrebro - “one of the ¼ rst”, he says with a smile. He opened Arabica in September and on ¼ rst impres-sion, the café does not seem that diº erent to any of the other design-conscious Nørre-bro cafés. � e use of restored second-hand and recycled furniture is prominent: there are picnic tables and benches, leather bar stools, green armchairs, table legs that look like Jenga blocks, and even a seat that is built

into the woodwork of the walls. Music plays from a turntable, and record sleeves cover one wall; kitsch chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and candles and colourful Ê owers sit on the windowsill. � e space is airy, spacious and uncluttered. � e large windows make this a perfect place to look out onto the col-ourful Blågårdsgade street life.

However, after spending a little bit of time at Arabica, you begin to notice some subtle diº erences that set this place apart from the rest. You are acutely aware of where you are and the turbulent history of the area. A poster of the Nørrebro protests adorns the wall. ‘Police out of Nørrebro’, the text says. Locals wander in and out, greeting each other and the staº warmly. A group of teen-age girls play board games in the corner. It looks like they’ve been there all day. A regu-lar sits at the window reading his newspa-per. A man comes in on a wheelchair. He is helped through the door and has a chat with the waitress. � e café has a community feel, it’s unpretentious and it seems like everyone knows each other. � e hip and modern in-carnation of Cheers, perhaps, except they don’t serve alcohol.

Yes, this is a café that does not serve the hard stuº . Instead a dizzying array of organic juices and sodas are oº ered, along with exceptional coº ee and speciality teas. � ey have one beer, if you must satisfy you’re thirst for hops, but it’s non-alcoholic. � e simple food – soups, pastries, cakes and sandwiches - are all vegetarian. It’s obvi-ous that Naim has a clear idea of what he wants Arabica to be, and he’s not willing to make compromises. Like the café, he’s laid-back and friendly. It’s not surprising that he knows everyone in the area. He points out of the window at the apartment block across the street: “I can tell you who lives there, and there, and there. � is is my home.” Arabica is a family-run café close to his heart - Naim’s mother makes the soup and his wife makes the array of delicious cheesecakes that are on oº er every day. It’s hard to imagine a place that could be more local, or as welcom-ing. Although it has only been there for a few months, Arabica feels like an old haunt already. Visit if you want a taste of authen-tic Nørrebro, but remember, it’s on Naim’s terms. Hopefully it will stay that way.

PANFORTE, the traditional Tus-can Christmas confection, is not for the faint of heart. Its avours are bold. So is its texture. ­ e recipe includes 18 ingredients, most of which are nuts and dried fruits. It makes a wonderful gift.

I cut mine into large wedges and wrap in baking paper for a rustic look. I tie each bundle with a piece of brown twine or red and white checkered ribbon and suggest recipients enjoy a small slice with a mug of hot tea or co ee.

But be warned, it takes plan-ning and time to pull it all together. I treated the recipe like a puzzle that I worked on over three days. I � nd it much more manageable, not to mention enjoyable, if I break a reci-pe like this down into steps.

Panforte Adapted from Tartine Cookbook and � e Wednesday Chef225g candied quince & 100g candied orange peel - strained and coarsely chopped 225g dates & 225g prunes -pitted and coarsely chopped175g currants30g grated orange zest15g grated lemon zest225g lightly toasted unsalted pistachios450g well-toasted hazelnuts450g well-toasted almonds150g flour115g cocoa powder15g ground cinnamonFreshly grated 1 1/2 nutmegs7g ground coriander7g freshly ground black pepper7g ground cloves175g honey325g granulated sugar60g powdered sugar

Heat oven to 160 degrees. Butter 26cm springform pan, line with parchment paper, and butter the parchment, mak-ing sure to butter the pan’s sides well.

In large bowl, combine candied quince and orange zest, dates, currants, orange and lemon zest, and nuts. Sift our, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nut-meg, coriander, pepper and cloves over the fruits and nuts. Mix well. Set aside.

In deep, heavy saucepan, combine the honey and granulated sugar over medium-high heat. Stir gently to en-sure no sugar is sticking. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture registers 120 degrees on a thermometer (about three mins). Mixture will be frothy.

Remove from the heat and pour over the fruit-and- our mixture. Quickly stir. Transfer to springform pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula dipped in water. Bake until the top is slightly pu ed and looks like a brownie, about 1 hour.

Once cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top, bottom and sides of the panforte. Lightly tap to shake o excess sugar. It will keep, well wrapped, in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks, or inde� nitely in the refrigerator.

BY STACI MENARD FOOD BLOGeatingindenmark.blogspot.com

First, I candied the quince (don’t let an inaccessibility to quince stop you from making panforte; just up the candied orange peel or sub-stitute another candied fruit) and then I moved on to the orange peel. I � nd that putting the fruit to cook on a back burner while I make din-ner or wash dishes is the best way to accomplish this task. I stored both batches of candied fruit in my fridge for a day and worked on toasting the nuts. ­ en came the assembly.

­ e prep time was key. Had I attempted to complete the whole thing in one shot I would have been annoyed, tired, and hurrying to � nish it. Instead, the assembly was a breeze and I could relax while patiently awaiting the � nished prod-uct.

G1316 - 22 December 2011 InOut | THE CPH POST ENTERTAINMENT GUIDEFOOD & DRINK

AS WELL AS being one of Denmark’s oldest castles, Dragsholm Slot is well known as one of the most haunted. It’s no wonder then that the more superstitious of us have reason to stay away. Hearing the story of the ‘white lady’ imprisoned in the castle walls, whose ghost now roams the corridors, was enough to make me keep my distance. But curiosity got the best of me – and I took a trip to this somewhat hauntingly enchanted place. And while I didn’t encounter any ghosts, I did stumble upon some of the best food and wine that this country has to o  er.

I shouldn’t have been that surprised. Voted the best hotel and restaurant in 2009, and referred to by many as ‘mini Noma’, Dragsholm is without doubt one of the very best representatives of regional Danish cuisine.

Dragsholm’s aim is to have their cui-sine belong to Scandinavia’s gastronomical elite, both now and in the future. � ey use seasonal ingredients from the Lamme� ord area they lie in –the � ord being one of the most fertile agricultural areas in Denmark after it was drained last century for farm-ing purposes.

Diners are o  ered a choice of � ve or seven courses. We had seven – and it was seven of the most innovative taste esca-pades I’ve enjoyed.

We began with the Danish children’s favourite of Snørbrød wrapped around large twigs with marmalade on top. On the side were small mu� n-like pieces of bread - a mix of both malt bread and white bread baked to perfection. � is was served with two di  erent types of butter: one with chicken skin that was divine, and the other a fresh horseradish style.

Dragsholm not only serves local cui-sine, but enhances the whole experience by serving it on local ornaments. Our butter was served on a large, smooth, cold rock, collected from the nearby beach that we couldn’t stop admiring.

If you’re new to monk� sh you should try it here - it doesn’t get any better. � e smell of it was as good as the taste; the richness and freshness of the � sh drifted into our noses before we even took a mouthful. Accompanying it were small bead-like pieces of potatoes - faultlessly undercooked, they demonstrated a new way to present potatoes without that weighty feel they bring to meals at times.

Dragsholm’s pioneering attitude to-wards their food is also re� ected in their � avour combinations. Mixing rocket and turnip with natural yoghurt was a pallet soother, while slices of raw chestnut with

squid made for a beautiful combination – and here’s me thinking that I didn’t like chestnuts.

But my award for the most creative dish and also my favourite of the night went to my second dessert: the Can-died mint with ‘skyr’ mousse and celery sorbet. Two words you don’t want to see written together: celery and sorbet. But my goodness this worked well. Fantasti-cally fresh, unexpected and fun. � e acid-ity and sweetness of the dish made for a concoction I didn’t know existed. Served with light crème fraîche underneath, and

little green sugary citrus surprises scat-tered throughout the bowl, it really was supreme.

� e wine list is extensive and the food matchings are second to none. Our cham-pagne had no sugar added, making for a very pure, crisp drop. For the majority of our meal we relaxed into a bottle of Les Chataigners Bourgogne Chardonnay 09. � is o  set the � sh dishes well as it had some of the same taste elements. For a chardonnay it was rather light, but a won-derful drop that still lingers as one of the best chardonnays I’ve tried.

Food so good it will haunt you until your dying day

A restaurant is never complete with-out great service. Keeping with their ‘fresh is best’ philosophy, many of the sauces in our meals were served by the chef or the waiter at our table – a small touch that magni� ed our experience in a huge way. I left Dragsholm devoid of seeing any ghosts but I’m still haunted by the food … and while I won’t be passing on tales of the ‘white lady’, I will be passing on the tale of my bewitching food experience.

Pitt is on the money with this homerun

OKAY, I GET IT. Being a Ca-nadian I grew up with and around baseball so I under-stand the sport. And that is a de� nite advantage, without

question, as I can watch Moneyball as a baseball movie � rst, a drama about the underdog second. But it’s no di� erent from me watching a (European) foot-ball movie. While I certainly would not be into the � ner points of the game, I can follow the sport. If it has a story that intrigues me and characters that I can route for, it is a � lm that I can watch and enjoy regardless of the stage. � is is Moneyball.

Moneyball recounts the game changing season of the Oakland Ath-letics baseball team in 2002. � ey were a small budget club (think Wigan in the English Premiership), who were short on funds (players were forced to pay for their own sodas in the locker room) and who had just lost three of their best players on free tranfers with no chance to sign them, or players of similar stature. � e general manager, Billy Beane (Pitt), sees that the same old, same old will simply keep them a� oat with no chance of real success. In a meeting with another general manag-er where Beane fails to secure the play-er he wants, he unearths Peter Brand (a smartly underplayed Jonah Hill), an economics graduate who may have the edge that is needed in � nding players who are ‘undervalued’ throughout Ma-

jor League Baseball. Brand’s analysis is based on an of-

ten overlooked stat as it prizes the un-glamorous but essential ability to get on base. Brand had correctly observed that in order to score runs you need to have men on base. While this sounds obvious it was too often overlooked with teams/scouts preferring batting prowess, athleticism and hot looking girlfriends. In this way, these ‘under-valued’ players can be had very cheap-ly. � is experiment will either make Beane a living legend or just another washed-up former ball player.

Granted, this makes Moneyball sound like a geeky baseball movie clouded over by a bunch of statistics, which, in many ways, it is. However, it isn’t really a movie about what hap-pens on the � eld, it’s about what hap-pens behind it, around it and o� it as Beane tries to make his vision a real-ity. Along the way, we only really get to know a couple of the players, while the old guard is represented by the � eld manager Art Howe (played brilliantly, as always, by Ho� man), but Beane and Brand are ever present.

Pitt is having a banner year. After

already turning in a potential-award winning performance in � e Tree of Life, he now has another potential award winner here with Beane and Moneyball. His goofy charm keeps Beane from being the typical unsym-pathetical jock. Instead he’s a man driven to succeed with just the right hint of cockiness. � e chemistry be-tween himself and Hill is so good that you would think that they have worked together on numerous pieces before and maybe they will again before, Pitt’s self-imposed retirement kicks in.

Moneyball is based on a Michael

Lewis book of the same name writ-ten in 2003, and Pitt’s patience seems to have been rewarded as he stuck through several directors and years of studio foot-shu� ing. Although, with the sublime direction of Bennett Mill-er, it is apparent it was worth the wait. Miller manages to create understated emotion and intrigue while not actu-ally having a villain to work against, which is no easy task.

Moneyball is not a home run but it is a man on base, which to Beane is as good as it gets.

KEVIN EVANCIO

FOR MORE THAN a dec-ade, largely owing to the success of Guy Ritchie, Brit-

ish cinema has been inundated with cockney geezers wielding big guns and potty mouths. � e resulting � lms have been of wildly di� ering quality - many

failing to even reach the cinema. � is, Ben Wheatley’s second � lm, at the outset appears to have much more going for it. Jay (Maskell) and Gal (Smiley) are best friends who’ve served together in the forces. Since returning from combat they’re hitmen for hire who’ve just been assigned a new job - a list of sev-eral people to assassinate. Jay is hesitant to take the work as he is still haunted by a traumatic occurrence in Kiev that has pre-vented him from working for the last eight months. However, he needs the money.

� e narrative dutifully fol-lows the pair as they work their way through their hits before making a genre about-face dur-ing the � nal act that will cer-

tainly confound some viewers. Imagine Lock, Stock meets Leon vs � e Wicker Man and you’re almost there.

� e � lm’s greatest weak-ness is that it appears to have dropped o� the cinematic ugly tree and hit most branches dur-ing the fall. � ere’s grim violence aplenty, from which poor aes-thetics provide no respite. Like many low budgeted � lms, Kill List is shot mainly on location (as opposed to built sets) - loca-tions can be a blessing if chosen with a good eye - but here we � nd suburban homes and hotels that are as bland inside as they are out. � is is perhaps why the director shot his cast almost ex-clusively in nauseating close-ups - which only serves to concrete

the appearance of a cheap TV production.

Performances are the � lm’s saving grace with only Jay’s wife Shel (Buring) falling short of standard, particularly when re-quired to express an emotional extremity. Much of Jay and Gal’s dialogue has been skilfully im-provised, lending more charm and credibility to a script that deserves far less.

However, the general criti-cal response to the � lm has been positive, with the Radio Times writing that it is a “uniquely ter-rifying experience”. However, the Daily Mail perfectly captures my thoughts, when it says the � lm is “a frustrating mixture of promising and atrocious”.

50/50

Dir: Jonathan Levine; US dramedy, 2011, 100 mins; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Bryce Dallas HowardThe ability to get laughs out of an illness so devastating is dif-ficult, and getting them with-out being cheesy or forced is a true work of genius. 50/50 has a surprisingly good vibe and makes for an excellent night out at the movies. The movie fol-lows Adam (Gordon-Levitt) - a 27-year-old that has just been diagnosed with cancer - as he copes not only with his disease but also the reactions of those closest to him. KE

NEDS (15)

Dir: Peter Mullan; UK/France/Italy drama, 2010, 124 mins; Conor McCarron, Greg Forrest, Joe Szula, Gary Lewis, Peter MullanNEDS (Non Educated Delin-quents) traces the descent of a bright boy called John who has just moved to a 1970s Glas-wegian neighbourhood. He is unjustly placed in a class below that to which he is academically suited on account of his elder brother’s reputation as a gang leader. Director Mullan quickly establishes this as a film about place - or rather being placed. While it evokes many classic films on account of the subject matter and setting, it does so with such a sense of urgency and a bloody ferocity that it ends up feeling quite unlike any of them.

NEDS is not a film for everyone, but if you’ve got the stomach, your soul will be greatly reward-ed. MW

The Adventuresof Tintin 3D (7)

Dir: Steven Spielberg; US action, 2011, 107mins; Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Andy SerkisFrom the opening credits to the very end, this film is a playful contradiction of old and new. Whilst the film very much stays true to the mythical and timeless world that Tintin author Hergé so masterfully created, the in-troduction of slick film tech-niques and 3D wizardry makes it a modern story for a modern audience. Directed by the infamous Ste-ven Spielberg and produced by the super clever Sir Peter Jackson the film is action-packed, visu-ally dazzling, and fantastically fun. JS

Drive (15)

Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn; US thriller, 2011; 95 mins; Ryan Gosling, Carey Mul-liganMake sure you’re in your seats early for this one or else you’ll miss one of the most brilliant opening scenes in a movie ... ever. Refn manages to build ex-traordinary tension before ignit-ing brief outbursts of violence. Sheer brilliance! KE

in Time (11)

Dir: Andrew Niccol; 2011; 109 mins; Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian MurphyDespite a skimpy plot the film’s storyline means no one looks older than 25, making for a very attractive cast. While the looks may be hot the action scenes are not – most are blatantly mun-dane at times. As one reviewer said “In Time fills its dynamic, sprawling universe with about as much character and drama as a half-hour game of Sim City.” EM

New Year’s Eve

Dir: Garry Marshall; US rom com, 2011, 118 mins; Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher, Jes-sica Biel, Zac EfronThere are a million ways to ver-bally trash Garry Marshall’s lat-est romcom. Somewhat in the style of the comparable but infi-nitely superior British film Love Actually, New Year’s Eve opens by painting a brief but serious view of the world as we know it. We then meet our 20 focal char-acters and follow them as they deal with whatever obstacles keep them from meeting a loved one before midnight. New Year’s Eve contains no funny allusions to intrigue you, no philosophical angles, no cliffhangers, no hu-mour, and very little substance. I found it a tepid, shallow and predictable farce full of trivial

problems. If it’s feel-good fluff you’re after, here’s enough for a whole year. KG

Paranormal Activity 3

Dir: Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman; US horror, 2011, 84 mins, Katie FeatherstonJust like with Paranormal Activity 2, the film has skipped the press screenings and saved the premiere for the people who count – the airheads who’ll watch any sequel because it’s a safe bet.

Spy Kids 4D: All the Time in the World (7)

Dir: Robert Rodriguez; US comedy, 2011; 89 mins; Jes-sica Alba, Jeremy Piven and Joel McHaleAn endless series of obscure jokes sap the charm out of nearly eve-ry scene, resulting in a chintzy adventure that could have gone straight to DVD. EM

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part i

Dir: Bill Condon; US drama, 2011, 117 mins; Robert Pat-tinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor LautnerPattinson gives his usual sultry, overly dramatic performance, except now he’s perfected the art of the sulking pout. Stewart, still just as annoying as the shy, awkward teenager might be car-rying a half vampire baby, but all we get is one-dimensional Bella, just with a bigger belly. EM

Contagion (15)

Dir: Stephen Soderbergh; US thriller/drama 2011, 118mins; Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Jude LawContagion is rather like the mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand - in that there’s a long list of well known faces; the end is nigh; and some sort of uber-flu is to blame. The film also functions more like a bird’s eye view - rather than an inti-mate human account - leaving the audience uninvolved and distinctly uninfected. MW

Hysteria (7)

Dir: Tanya Wexler; UK romcom, 95 mins; Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett The film takes place in the 1880s when hysteria was considered a disease affecting women. At the end of the 19th century Mortimer Granville developed the best treatment to date: the modern-day vibrator. It was daring to create a film like this as a romantic comedy but that causes the film to fall short in that it squeezes what was a fascinating true story into the standard format of the genre. ED

The Help (7)

Dir: Tate Taylor; US drama, 2011, 137 mins; Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas HowardSet in the 60s Mississippi, the film has a political backdrop, but despite pulling on the heart-strings, The Help is entertain-ing and enjoyable. The trailer promised more comedy than was delivered though and in this sense is not a true reflection of the novel. ED

immortals

Dir: Tarsem Singh; US ac-tion, 2011, 110 mins; Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto, John HurtThe God’s have angered King Hyperion (Rourke) by allow-ing the death of his wife and children. Now he means to bait them from the heavens by wreak-ing havoc on Earth. In his path stands one man: Theseus (Cav-ill), a peasant trained in combat and disguised as a mortal. Un-doubtedly this film will struggle to avoid association with Zack Snyder’s visually unique sword and sandals epic 300 (2006). To set the films apart, it can be said that Immortals, whilst still an ac-tion romp is a less clumsy work that contains far fewer uninten-tional laughs. The critics’ view has been very mixed, but in the words of The Birmingham Post, “Its physical power just blew me away.” MW

PICK OF THE WEEK

ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES used to work for Ján Ludvík Hy-man Binyamin Hoch, and you can see it in his face when he talks about him, that he both terri� ed and elec-tri� ed him at the same time. � at one man’s charisma can be one of the most memorable moments of an entire existence is surely a bless-ing – such a shame, therefore, that he used it to rip so many people o� .

� e mysteries surrounding the life of Czech-born Robert Maxwell, as he became known serving in the British Army at the age of 22, will rage on forever. Was he murdered? Was he a Mossad agent? What drove him to take such a strangle-hold in British publishing? Why on Earth did he buy Oxford United? Maxwell starring David Suchet (Poirot) in an Emmy award-win-

ning performance will try its best to answer these and other questions. If you know little about the man, it’s worth tuning in to � nd out why he was one of Britain’s most hated ever men.

Talking of which, Louie Spence’s Showbusiness - Christ-mas Special (DR HD, Tue 19:15) needs to be seen to be believed. � is guy is the new king of ADD television, the campest man to ever grace celluloid. Hold on to your jaw, although you’ll probably tire before your grip does.

And we’ve also got the world’s most loved. Jack is portly, bushy bearded and jolly – the ideal subject for Becoming Santa (DR2, Tue 20:30), a feature-length, highly-acclaimed A-Z doc about the great man, even though the “You will

believe again,” tagline is a bit of a stretch to say the least.

Elsewhere, we’ve got the 2010 Christmas edition of Gavin and Stacey; (SV1, Sun 22:15); Talk-ing Books: Je� ery Eugenides is a chat with the author of � e Virgin Suicides (BBC World, Sun 17:30); there’s a Bill Hicks documentary (SV2, Fri 20:00 & Tue 22:45), al-though the narration will probably be in Swedish; and � lms-wise we have the mostly absurd Inglouri-ous Basterds (DR2, Wed 19:55), which is partly in German and French, the kid-friendly Mr Ma-gorium’s Wonder Emporium (K5, Wed 21:00), the lavish Young Victoria (DR2, Fri 21:25) and the intriguing Watchmen (TV2 Zulu, � u 22:40).
