It's a mystery how Peter Schonau Fog manages to combine child abuse, a study of a rural community, affecting tragedy and black comedy into a satisfying whole, but in "The Art of Crying" he pulls it off. A gently offbeat study of a Jutland family in the early 1970s as seen through the merciless, innocent gaze of an 11 year-old boy, this refreshingly unconventional pic tackles its taboos with
compassion, grace and wit. Jonathan Holland, Variety
Emotionally devastating and astonishingly mature, this is a unique feature debut. Steve Gravestock, Toronto International Filmfestival
A young Scandinavian genius tackles Bergmanesque themes of family taboos and relationships with pathos, humor, and a loving eye. Chiseko Tanaka, Tokyo International Film Festival
According to Final Cut Productions a DVD of "The Art of Crying" will be released the 20. of november in Denmark.
Inspite of more than 228.000 admissions in Denmark, 32 international film festivals and 17 awards, Final Cut Productions has decided that this DVD will only contain the film, subtitles in danish/norwegian and an interview with author Erling Jepsen.
