Allegro is the second feature film by Boe, described as one of the most promising revelations of Nordic cinema when he won the Camera d’or in Cannes 2003 for his directorial debut Reconstruction. Allegro starring super model Helena Christensen and Ulrich Thomsen, was previously selected at Venice Days last September. The film produced by Tine Grew Pfeiffer for Alphaville Pictures, is sold internationally by Celluloid Dreams.

The black comedy which has sold some 360,000 tickets in Denmark, is produced by M&M Productions and sold internationally by Nordisk Film International Sales.
