Being a mixture between "Præsten i Vejlby." and Morten Korch the film is more a tragedy than a comedy. Together with some excellent actors, strong dialects (it takes place in East Jutland, however there are many different dialects) and wonderful characters (all of the actors are excellent), this for me gives the film a quirky charm and personality. Compared to Karl Stegger (1972) and Henrik Malberg (1931) in "Præsten i Vejlby", Poul Reumert is here more jovial and perhaps naive
The dialects can, I think, be a little difficult to understand, but this doesn't change my overall impression of a highly charming look into the old days.
