Berthelsen, Lars Kaalund and Peter Gantzler, together with Ann Eleonora Jørgensen, Anette Støvelbæk and Sara Indrio Jensen. The film was made by the austere principles of the Dogme 95 movement, including the use of handheld video cameras and natural lighting, and is known as Dogme XII. However, in contrast to most Dogme films which are harsh and serious in tone, Italian for Beginners is a light-hearted comedy. It was made on a $600,000 budget, and went on to gross over 27 times that. ## Credits - **Director:** [Lone Scherfig](https://cinepixo.com/people/lone-scherfig) - **Screenplay:** [Lone Scherfig](https://cinepixo.com/people/lone-scherfig) - **Original Music Composer:** [Niels Gade](https://cinepixo.com/people/niels-gade) - **Producer:** [Ib Tardini](https://cinepixo.com/people/ib-tardini) - **Director of Photography:** [Jørgen Johansson](https://cinepixo.com/people/j-rgen-johansson) - **Editor:** [Gerd Tjur](https://cinepixo.com/people/gerd-tjur) ## Cast - [Steen Svare](https://cinepixo.com/people/steen-svare) - [Susanne Oldenburg](https://cinepixo.com/people/susanne-oldenburg) - [Carlo Barsotti](https://cinepixo.com/people/carlo-barsotti) - [Rikke Wölck](https://cinepixo.com/people/rikke-wolck) - [Lene Tiemroth](https://cinepixo.com/people/lene-tiemroth) - [Merete Voldstedlund](https://cinepixo.com/people/merete-voldstedlund) - [Claus Gerving](https://cinepixo.com/people/claus-gerving) - [Sara Indrio Jensen](https://cinepixo.com/people/sara-indrio-jensen) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
