Film Overview
A moving and dramatic story of two adolescent friends who are abruptly torn from their carefree youths by a series of adult problems, TWIST AND SHOUT is a sensitive portrayal of first love and attempted independence. Through the affectionately drawn characters of Bjorn, forced to confront the emotional trials of his girlfriend's pregnancy, and Erik, revolting against his tyrannical father, TWIST AND SHOUT realizes some of the most significant and touching moments of adolescence. Distinguished by its colorful period music and strong performances, TWIST AND SHOUT is one of the most enjoyable films to come from Denmark in years.
