Christoffer Boe's cerebral, stylish Allegro carries the traces of films as disparate as Bergman's Wild Strawberries and the Wachowski's The Matrix in its idiosyncratic blending of psychology and sci-fi. It's the story of a gifted concert pianist, Zetterstrom (Ulrich Thomsen), who is devastated when the love of his life, Andrea (Helena Christensen), leaves him with no explanation. Rather than acknowledge his grief, Zetterstrom immediately forgets her. But his memories and emotions will not be denied, and they manifest in a shadowy, guarded enclave of Copenhagen known as The Zone. For a time Zetterstrom's career prospers, despite his peculiar demands for invisibility while he plays, but critics harp on the frigid aura of his performances. Ultimately he must visit The Zone to reclaim his artistic power and his humanity. In his Green-Cinema review, Sean Axmaker observed, "As in Reconstruction, Boe offers us a vision of love as a beautiful thing that leaves destruction and pain in its wake. This time he insists that we're not complete without the pain that follows the pleasure". (Denmark, 2005, 88 minutes.) In Danish with subtitles.
