有时候就算是最出人意料、最荒唐的故事也无法超越现实。克里斯汀•苏德佰•杰普森这一部悲喜交加又温暖人心的纪录片就比小说还要离奇，他讲述了一个三兄弟从祖父那里继承遗产的故事。这笔遗产是一份天赐的礼物。亨里克独自住在一家日晒沙龙附近，他的大哥正苦于戒毒，他的弟弟是一个全优生，而他们的父亲总是很清楚什么是最棒的。在他们三人能开始悠长假期之前，还有两个障碍不得不扫除：遗愿，和一个想把所有财产占为己有的阿姨。不为人知的秘密正慢慢浮出水面，关键在于三兄弟能否团结起来共同应对那些不可避免的对质。每当有人想要翻过一页这根本无法预测的家族传奇，完全意想不到的怪事就会突然出现。这个三兄弟和百万财产的故事比最精彩的电影还富有奇异的反转情节，好莱坞正打算翻拍这部电影。毫无疑问，如果这不是根据真人真事拍摄的，没有人会相信这个故事。这片子大概是今年最有趣的一部了。同时，它证明了血浓于水的道理，也像向观众说明了金钱并不能买到真正的幸福。 Sometimes reality surpasses even the most incredible cock-and-bull stories. And Christian Sønderby Jepsen's tragicomic and warm film about three brothers who inherit a fortune from their grandfather is certainly stranger than fiction. The inheritance is a godsend. Henrik is separated and lives above a tanning salon. His older brother is struggling to replace heroin with homegrown weed. The younger brother scores straight A's in school. And then there is the father, who always knows what's best. Now there are just two obstacles that have to be overcome before the three of them can embark on a permanent vacation: the will, and an aunt who wants all the money for herself. The skeletons are rattling in the closet, and the question is if the brothers can stick together and tackle the necessary confrontations. Each time one turns a page in this wildly unpredictable family saga, totally unexpected and strange details pop up. The story about the three brothers and the millions has more bizarre twists than even the most cunning fiction film, and is simply asking to be remade in Hollywood. Which it no doubt could be, if it was not for the fact that nobody would believe in the story. It is probably the funniest film of the year, but it is also a story which proves that blood is thicker than water, and that true happiness can not be bought with money. 2011丹麦哥本哈根国际纪录片电影节丹麦奖 / Danish:DOX Award, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, 2011.
