Director, Screenwriter Born: May 2, 1959 in Denmark Biography:Danish filmmaker "Lone Scherfig" is part of the Dogme 95 film movement, which espouses a form of cinéma vérité that eschews special effects and glitzy treatment of its subjects. Cameras are handheld; films are shot on location with no extraneous props or atmospheric music. This is all part of the group's renowned, so-called "Vow of Chastity."
Employing the principles of Dogme 95, Scherfig made "Italian for Beginners" in 2001. The film won the Silver Bear juried prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and has enjoyed accolades from audiences in Europe and America, where the director made a special version minus the Danish inside jokes.

Relationships form; romances blossom; the story unfolds with ever increasing complications... Full Biography
