Otto Frello (April 6, 1924 - 2015) was a Danish artist who began his career as an illustrator of non-fiction works and encyclopedias. At age 50 he decided he was done and started painting fantastic, surrealist scenes from Copenhagen and other urban and landscape settings, all with more than a twist of magical realism.

Frello was from Varde and many of his works are now housed in a museum there that carries his name.

Norwegian Black Metal

No dialogue, just good acting and good camera work...

There’s a lovely little show on Netflix/BBC called Detectorists that follows two nerdy guys who like to go out metal detecting. It’s a beautiful show, nice and sweet and... kind? It has conflicts, but it’s a very peaceful little show. 

In the third series finale, there’s an amazing moment between the two women in the detecting club. It’s never established (as far as I know) that they’re a couple. Maybe they just always sit together because they’re the only two women in the club. Maybe they’re friends! Or business partners! (::Jake Peralta side-eyes me::) 

Anyway, in the finale, this happens. All without dialogue (a running gag is that Varde never speaks on camera), but everything is conveyed perfectly.
