Community Challenge *4 ~ Wings
Posted by Josh~ in Challenge, Media, Movies, tags: Denmark
I’ll abuse you guys as my personal information army again ;p I’m looking for a short film. The still above is a scene of it. It might be Dutch but I’m not sure about that. And the plot was something about his baby brother having wings. That’s all I know, sorry :/ Here is another still. So, who can solve this challenge? :)
Solved by hosenhaus within 3 hours!
I think this is from “Lakki – the boy who grew wings”,a Norwegian movie. The movie database describes it as follows: A bittersweet story of a teenage boy who dreams of escaping from sexual abuse and an unhappy family life, and who mysteriously grows wings to fly away from it all. Nudity and mature themes.
Nah, that’s not the one. Sound interesting ‘tho! :)
geoffkhere is correct the stills are from “Lakki”. But the plot you describe is for the 2009 French film “Ricky” by Francois Ozon in which a baby boy sprouts wings a few months after birth. The mother and sister of the boy have to deal with handling an infant who can fly. Somewhat less darkly themed than “Lakki”.
Wait, what? now I’m confused xD
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lakki_the_boy_who_grew_wings/ <– This is not the film I look for. The stills are from a short film.
And “Ricky” can’t be the one too since it’s a full feature film and too new besides that.
Actually on second look you appear to be correct. The two images don’t appear to be from Lakki either.
“Der var engang en dreng”
2006 Denmark

Life becomes troublesome when 10-year-old Kalle’s newborn sister has a birth defect on her back resembling wings. Only he sees the true miracle of his sister’s odd appendages. When she is sent to the renowned Plastic Palace Clinic of cosmetic surgery for an amputation, Kalle sets out on a rescue mission. On the road, he meets Alf, a reclusive mechanic, who agrees to help. Together, they take off in Alf’s vintage Cadillac in a race against time through an autumn-colored world of song and dance.
@hosenhaus
Now that’s strange. That seems to be the one indeed but I am 99% that I saw a short film with very boy and the same theme and the robot etc but without the musical o.O
Janus Dissing Rathke is a danish actor, who made his break through in “Drømmen”, co-starring whith Anders W. Berthelsen and Bent Mejding. He is born july 25th 1991

look for “Der.Var.Engang.En.Dreng.2006.DANiSH.DVDRip.XviD-DiViSiON”
.. contact me if you can’t find it :-)
Sorry if this kind of post isn’t allowed!
@m3ntal
Yeah, found that in the Bay already ;)
But, seriously, I’m still sure there is a short film with the same them xD

Apparently he will be signing autographs somewhere for a biography written about him? Will someone who can read norwegian translate this plz?
beatiful boy….
@ KW
Danish xD
I didn’t know they used the o-slash and a-dot in danish too.
Also, here is more info on the particular film.

it is most definitively “Der var engang en dreng”

sorry
Dunno, at least the site has a Danish TLD.
OK, guys, I got the film and found the scenes I knew. It looks like somebody made a “short film” out of them, that’s the only way I can make sense of that xD
Thanks to everyone who tried to solve this :)
Post updated. This was the fastest solving so far :)
Probably not needed but here’s the translation of the image, I’m not danish, but it is rather easy to read:
“Saturday 21. october at 4.00am we at Karup Bio will get a visit of Janus Dissing Rathke, who plays Kalle in the film. Janus will see the film at Karup Bio.”
“After the film at about 5:35pm, Janus will write autographs. If you have already seen the film you are also welcome to come in and get Janus’ autograph at about 5:35pm”
Here is his picture. Josh will be sorry to see he has been given a haircut.

This boy is well nice.
I looked at the link that xavier posted, the boy on the photo he has a link too doesn’t look anything at all like this guy.
There’s a bunch of likely and unlikely pictures on a google image search. I guess that’s the talent of the actor and his stylist! http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Dissing%20Rathke&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Thanks xavier it is the same boy, he looks better with his hair longer. I looked at the other photos you posted a link to, he has some photos with long hair and some with short hair.
He had to get it cut for the film. Its part of the story. A shame!
Josh, thanks so much for posting this challenge. Through it, I was able to get to know the pictured actor Janus Dissing Rathke. Without a doubt, he’s a beautiful boy.
Not only this, but I also decided to see Drømmen (”Der Traum” in German), where he’s the lead character. It is such a great Danish movie and I highly recommend you to see it, if you haven’t done that yet. I imagine you will like it as much as I do, considering it features a truly stirring story and awesome Janus. Oh and more handsome Scandinavian boys are in there, too. ;-) Considering your previous reviews, I think the movie is worth being featured at milkboys. How do you think about this?
Awesomely beautiful boy, freakishly acid infused movie. Do see.
