Café Paradis
1950 film
Café Paradis (English Title: Paradise Cafe) is a 1950 Danish film, directed by Bodil Ipsen and Lau Lauritzen Jr., and written by Johannes Allen . The film received the Bodil Award for Best Danish Film,[1] and Ib Schønberg, for what is regarded his finest performance, received the Bodil Award for Best Supporting Actor.[2][3]
The story illuminates the problems of alcoholism as it follows the lives of two people: one is a common workman (played by Poul Reichhardt) who drinks too much beer, and the other is a company director (played by Ib Schønberg), who believes he just needs "a little one every now and then." They both come to face the consequences of their addictions.
