Did Somebody Laugh? (1978)

Directed by Henning Carlsen

Overview

The late 1930s. A young enemployed, unskilled worker walks through the streets of Copenhagen, sustaining himself partly on the dole and free soup-kitchen meals and partly on day-dreams. He spends time at a cemetry studying headstone inscriptions. Mild-mannered and of poetic bent, he understands little of an intellectual friend’s advice and shies away from the love of a woman who shares her bed with him.

Length 102 minutes
