The plot:
Hans Thomsen is a man from the lowest end of society. A looser. He works for little money at the local crematory, running the furnace. Spends his time drinking with like-minded people at local bars. He never lets down an opportunity to score some extra bucks from shady business, like pillaging the corpses he processes every day, or reselling coffins on the black market.
Allan Berg is from the opposite world. He is a winner. High class, powerful, a successful businessman, a man of stature.Read More »

Quote:
[Kære Irene] is a curiously Muggeridgian movie attacking the new, sexually liberated society of Denmark from an undoctrinaire Marxist standpoint. Thomsen’s people have achieved freedom; indeed they talk about almost nothing else. They sleep around, they are unillusioned, they know the limits of their responsibilities. Flesh slaps sullenly on flesh, and after lovemaking there is always a bottle of beer to be opened, an appointment to be kept, a husband and a child to return to. Isolation is a condition accepted as inevitable as life itself. – Jonathan Raben, New Statesman, England.Read More »
