Allegro, a self-consciously smart Danish picture starring two of the country's best-known actors (both had leading roles in Festen) and Denmark's most celebrated model is another Freudian tale, in this case pretty earnest.

A famous conductor (Ulrich Thomsen), all mind and technique and no heart, quits his native land for New York where he loses his memory. Back home, the centre of Copenhagen has become a mysterious zone, difficult to penetrate.

This place is clearly in his mind and a suave, elderly man in a wheelchair (Henning Moritzen) takes him on a journey into the past, leading to the musician's forgotten, abandoned love (Helena Christensen). At 88 minutes, it doesn't overstay its limited welcome.
