Drafthouse Films has sent us a brand new trailer for director Anders Thomas Jensen's film Men & Chicken (2015), starring Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, David Dencik, Søren Malling, and Nicolas Bro. The film will open in cinemas across the nation on April 22.
Official synopsis: A darkly hilarious slapstick comedy starring Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, ingeniously cast against type) about a pair of significantly socially-challenged siblings who seek out their mutual biological dad after discovering they are adopted half-brothers in their late father's videotaped will. Their journey takes them to the small, insular Danish island of Ork where they stumble upon three additional half-brothers—also sporting hereditary harelips and lunatic tendencies—living in a dilapidated mansion overrun by barn animals. Initially unwelcome by their newfound kin, the two visitors stubbornly wear them down until they're reluctantly invited to stay. As the misfit bunch get to know each other, they unwittingly uncover a deep family secret that ultimately binds them together.
Directed by acclaimed, Oscar-winning director Anders Thomas Jensen and also starring David Dencik (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), the inventively bizarre Men & Chicken has been described as an outlandish hybrid of The Three Stooges and The Island of Dr. Moreau.
