Movie: Tove's Room

Movie screening: Tove's Room
In 1969 in Copenhagen, we meet one of Denmark’s most acclaimed female authors, Tove Ditlevsen, and her husband, the sadistic news editor Victor Andreasen. Tove’s talent is indisputable, and as a woman, her brilliance presents a threat to the chauvinistic literary culture of her era. Her success ignites her husband’s envy, which he weaponizes against her in insidious ways. Tensions rise when the promising young author Klaus Rifbjerg, a man unthreatened by modern womanhood, comes to visit the couple. Klaus expects to share a nice afternoon with his idol, but when Victor’s temper gets in the way, chaos ensues.
