Lykke-Per

In the late 19th century, Peter Sidenius is an ambitious young man from a devout Christian family in Western Denmark, who travels to the Danish capital of Copenhagen to study engineering, rebelling against his clergyman father. He comes into contact with the intellectual circles of a wealthy, Jewish family and seduces the elder daughter, Jakobe. Per, as he now calls himself, conceives a large-scale engineering project including the construction of a series of canals in his native Jutland, and lobbies for its construction. But just as Per seems to be about to make his dreams come true, his pride stands in the way.

I just came back from seeing this movie, twice! Yes, it is that good. The highlight in this film was definitely Benjamin Kitter and Esben Smed. Benjamin Kitter gave such a convincing and emotional performance in a character who is so sensitive. Esben Smed was really good at bringing to life such a character. I was really amazed at how good he was playing

This is the most beautiful and amazing movie of all time!

I think "A Fortunate Man" is an excellent, if not close to perfect.

Decent story, entertaining, worth the watch!

Engrossing, Epic, Emotional. Those are the three E's that define this movie.

Pure Awesomeness! The characters all had their own amazing moments and the acting is decent as well.

Absolutely stunning movie far exceeded expectations.

The movie was great!

In my opinion, it is the best Bille August film, I am very pleased with this movie!
