- TriviaThe old sanatorium from the movie was part of the sanatorium in Beelitz, near Berlin, Germany. The complex consists of 60 buildings built between 1898 and 1930. When the sanatorium was used as a military hospital in WWI, Adolf Hitler was among the wounded. After WWII, it was used as a military hospital by the Soviet Union until 1994. Since they passed on any modernization, the complex has been very popular among movie companies for history pieces. Parts of The Pianist (2002) and Valkyrie (2008) where shot in the area.

Featured review
I don't often write reviews here, but I just had to write something about this film.
I'm a huge fan of Anders Thomas Jensen, I believe he's one of the most important director/writers in Denmark at the moment. Even though he has only directed 3 feature films (all of them excellent), he has written a ton of important danish films for the last 20 years or so.
Men and Chicken (Mænd og Høns) is in my opinion his greatest film so far. You are brought into this totally obscure insane world, but you are never bored. It is hilariously funny in Jensen's typical black humour way. But in this case also has such a a mysterious and interesting story, with bizaare characters. How did a man come up with this?
This film is genius, might not be for everyone, but wow is this film just amazing. I just hope we don't have to wait another 10 years for his next film.
