Danish Girls Show Everything (1996): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1996, Danish Girls Show Everything is a drama film directed by Mika Kaurismäki, running about 93 minutes.

What it’s about. Despite its suggestive title, this multi-part Danish omnibus film is not a work of exploitation. Instead, it presents 20 different short films (back-to-back) on the general theme of Danish women, directed by filmmakers including Krzysztof Zanussi, Monika Treut, Gustav Hamos, David Blair, Vibeke Vogel, Dusan Makavejev, Morten Skallerud and Lars Norgaard. Some dramatic vignettes mix with other comedic ones, but all are offbeat and experimental. The picture includes one animated sequence (by Norgaard).

Who’s in it. Danish Girls Show Everything stars Judi Martin Clark as Herself, Lis Dam as Herself, Sofie Gråbøl as Herself and Astrid Henning-Jensen as Herself, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.3/10, Danish Girls Show Everything has proved divisive with audiences.
