Flickering Lights: Off Colour (2000) is a Danish crime comedy film that tells the story of four small-time gangsters from Copenhagen who concoct a plan to outsmart their boss, Vigo Butsikas. The quartet, consisting of two brothers, Valdemar and Jeppe, along with their friends, Dennis and Jimmy, are tasked with delivering 4 million kroner to Butsikas. However, instead of handing over the money, they decide to keep it for themselves. The group's decision sets off a chain reaction as they try to escape to Barcelona, but their plans are constantly foiled by unexpected events. Along the way, they encounter a series of misadventures, from getting stuck in a traffic jam to accidentally stealing a police car. As they navigate through the streets of Denmark and Spain, the gangsters' antics become increasingly absurd and chaotic. As the group's predicament worsens, they begin to turn on each other, revealing their true personalities and motivations. The film's climax is marked by a series of intense confrontations, as the gangsters are forced to face the consequences of their actions. Throughout the film, director Anders Thomas Jensen employs a unique blend of dark humor and witty dialogue to explore themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the human condition. Flickering Lights features a talented ensemble cast, including Lars Kaalund, Anders Hove, Jesper Lohese, and Jakob Schmidt. The film's offbeat style and irreverent tone have made it a cult classic in Denmark, and its influence can be seen in many subsequent crime comedies.
