Brotherhood

WINNER BEST FILM - ROME FILM FESTIVAL

After joining a neo-Nazi organization, former Danish army officer Lars (Thure Lindhardt) falls for Jimmy (David Dencik), a fellow skinhead who can't ignore the sexual sparks flying between them -- or forget the importance of keeping their relationship under wraps. Nicolo Donato makes his directorial debut with this affecting tale of violence and illicit passion that took the top prize at the Rome Film Festival.

“The love that dare not speak its name gets a new twist in this piercingly intense drama by young Danish director Nicolo Donato. The film charts the growing homosexual attraction between two Danish neo-Nazis with an impressively taut control of structure and pacing and galvanising, slow-burn performances.” – Screen Daily

“Brotherhood inevitably will be called "the gay neo-Nazi movie," such a reductive description does the film a disservice… it's Donato's assured direction, plus the superb thesping on display, that sets "Brotherhood" above what could have been either fetishistic or far-fetched.” - Variety

“The premise is gay love between a new initiate of a neo-Nazi group and a more seasoned member. I thought it was great. I'd recommend it to most of my friends, especially all the gay guys who inexplicably have endless fantasies about amorous skinheads....” B+ - Blue Film Journal
