In Joseph Archer’s hillarious satire, ‘Denmark Doesn’t Exist’ viewers are treated to a riotous frolic through the world of conspiracy theory, friendship, and the unyielding power of denial. Cathy Wippell and Sky Cheema shine as Bell and Norman, whose comedic chemistry lights up the screen from the get go.

At the heart of the tale lies Norman’s steadfast belief in the preposterous notion that Denmark is a mere figment of the collective imagination. Despite Bell’s valiant efforts to disprove this absurdity, accompanying Norman on a journey to Denmark, his resolve remains unshakeable. Even in the face of undeniable evidence, Norman clings to his outlandish convictions with unwavering determination.

The genius of Archer’s script lies in its ability to blend zany humor with biting social commentary, treading the murky waters of conspiracy culture. Each scene brims with playful absurdity, captured by the skilled lens of cinematographer Valerio Marandola. From the picturesque landscapes of Denmark to the quirky encounters with its inhabitants, each frame is infused with a palpable sense of whimsy and wonder.

But it’s the performances of Wippell and Cheema that elevate the short to greatness. Their dynamic interplay and comic timing keep the audience entertained, ensuring that ‘Denmark Doesn’t Exist’ is not just a cinematic thrill, but an eccentric adventure in its own right.

Later in the film, Ben Thorn’s whimsical musical score, in collaboration with the Chameleon Choir Ashbourne, adds an extra layer of comedic charm to the climax. Thorn’s playful compositions perfectly complement the off-kilter premise.

Archer’s offbeat comedy is a triumph. With its high production quality, satirical humour, quirky performances, and delightful musical score, ‘Denmark Doesn’t Exist’ is a must-see for light-hearted entertainment.
