The movie is a flop, it misses all the essential parts from the book, which by the way i placed as number 3 on the Danish top 100 books of the century. The main character in the book tells the story to an imaginary person "Natanael", but in the movie this person is only mentioned ones at the beginning, an nobody know how he is. The main character follows Kierkegaards theories, but all the parts where he develops is left out. All in all dont waste your time on this, read the book !!!
