Benjamin Rothenborg Vibe Is Great

The about nine year old Benjamin Rothenborg Vibe makes one of the best child actor performances that I can remember from cinema in the highly underrated and sadly basically forgotten Danish film The Great Day At The Beach. Also the main adult contributions are solid. This film is based on Palle Fischer's novel of the same name, and it gives a very fine illustration of family and local streets Copenhagen life in the 1930's. This film has qualities otherwise seen in some if the best Italian films.
