Just watched this one......excellent film. I haven't seen "Open Hearts" but I have seen "Brodre". "Brodre" was a commendable film but, in comparing the two, I quite clearly preferred "After the Wedding"....I think it felt far more genuine. The acting was really top flight, and the film had a solid emotional hook to it. The film is a relationship drama but dry it is not....I actually found it had, in its own way, a high level of low simmering mystery/tension/suspense. "After the Wedding" was a most pleasant surprise and exceeded my expectations.
Conveniently available with English subs via CD-WOW (just search the Danish title).

Having seen all three of them Open Hearts is definitely the best one! It's a shame that the film received near zero publicity in the US.

I'm with Pro-B on this one, as 'Open Hearts' easily gets my vote as the best of the three. Personally, I was rather disappointed in 'After the Wedding' in comparison to Bier's previous two.
