sometimes it just becomes too much man, as blessed Dan Turell liked to express it. Too much. It applies in degree also to the brothers Avaz' second feature film 'Collision', which mostly looks like a frontalsammenstød between all the major filmfølelser, you can think of. Even Susanne Bier had probably held a bit again here.
Mehdi, Milad and Misam Avaz, which stand for, respectively, instruction, script, and production, came otherwise exceptionally well from the start with the self-funded debut film 'While we live' from 2017, who stressed that one easily can cope with a modest budget, as long as the story is good enough. 'While we live' was also a nice success at the windows, despite the fact that you had been denied støttekroner from the film institute.

the Money has apparently not been a problem this time, and it can be seen, but it will not necessarily a better film of the. Photographer Daniel Cotrenos pictures is delicious and welcoming and the star-studded team makes it also well - Nikolaj Lie Kaas is as always good, Cecilie Stenspil provide his so far best performance in front of a camera, and Tommy Kenter is an exquisite pleasure as the Maersk-like patriarch.

But historen. Hillemænd for a time melodramatic and sentimental deluge of platitudes and cliches. You are so forhippet on the big emotions that need to call tears to her eyes at the crowd, that it almost ends up being involuntarily comical. Even 'Titanic' seems modest in comparison.

It starts otherwise fairly plausible with the story of a married couple from the bourgeoisie (Kaas and Stenspil), whose relationships founder in the wake of a family tragedy. The narrative, however, are never allowed to fold out other than a smashed service and a little yelling in the large living rooms, as there is now pushed, with emotional watering can principle.
Adultery, kidnapping, direktionsopgør, forældremyndighedskamp, retssalsdrama, krigstraumer, disasters on the high seas, shootings, etc., etc. must of more or less inexplicable (mostly the last one) reasons also just be rolled into ligningnen. Which means, that it all ends up in the noisy, empty postulates.

It may well be that the people behind insists that 'Collision' is 'based on real events', but you believe them not more than a threshold. There is nothing wrong in taking hold of the quite heavy issues - on the contrary, which Avaz-brothers with great success even showed in their aforementioned debut film, which revolved around a tragic accident, but one should just make sure to dose things, so you can't here end up in a patosmæssig overbudspolitik, which no one in the last end buyer.
