A fiction in which the screenwriter Henrik Nordbrandt plays one of the film's leading roles, a figure who in many ways resembles himself. The game with the audience as to whether it is the film's Norbrandt who is the real Nordbrandt, or whether it is Nordbrandt playing a character from the world of his own story. It is this mixing of the fictional and the documentary that excites me. Nordbrandt in one role and Claus Nissen in the other, just the right cast. One is the restlessness and the other the epitome of laid back. All in all, a film that is a laid-back restlessness. In short, "På Ama'r" is about two idiots who fool around in Amager. They try to invent things to keep the boredom from life and kill time, to avoid the irrefutable question: to travel or not to travel.See less
