Die beiden Metzger Bjarne und Svend haben die Nase voll, ständig von ihrem tyrannischen Chef herumkommandiert zu werden. Deshalb beschließen sie, eine eigene Metzgerei zu eröffnen. Es kommt jedoch keine Kundschaft. Aus Versehen schließt Svend eines Abends einen Elektriker im Kühlraum ein. Als Svend am nächsten Morgen den Erfrorenen findet, beschließt er in seiner Panik, die Leiche auf sehr ungewöhnliche Art und Weise zu entsorgen. Auf einmal brummt das Geschäft, die Leute sind förmlich verrückt nach Svends und Bjarnes neuer Fleischspezialität "Chicky Wickies". Svend sorgt fortan eifrig für Nachschub Immer mehr ihm unsympathische Menschen verschwinden spurlos. Als Bjarnes geistig behinderter Zwillingsbruder Eigil überraschend aus dem Koma erwacht und bei ihnen in der Metzgerei auftaucht, haben die Beiden alle Hände voll zu tun, ihr dunkles Handwerk geheimzuhalten.

Englisch I have been suspecting it for quite a while, but now I can say it with certainty – yes, I am a perverted individual. I enjoyed The Green Butchers as much as the French Delicatessen, even though the two films were from completely different backgrounds. Did I like the fact that a “different” type of meat was processed? In my defense, it was mainly the excellent black humor used in both films, but who knows, I have no idea what's going on in my subconscious. ()

Englisch A very morbid black comedy, which sometimes makes one’s blood run cold in their veins. Mads Mikkelsen as the totally deranged butcher is quite repulsive with his brutal haircut and excessive sweating. There's nothing to fault in his performance, as usual, but this time he's a bit overshadowed by Nikolaj Lie Kaas. How could that not be the case, since he plays not only another crazy butcher but also his retarded twin brother? I've never been bored with films that Anders Thomas Jensen has directed or at least co-written, and The Green Butchers is certainly no exception. (90%) ()

Englisch Sir, Anders Thomas Jensen is a director to my liking. The three films I have seen from him are worth three stars. And I will explain to you right away why The Butcher Boys. The main point is Mads Mikkelsen, who is again an absolute nutcase and again plays him absolutely perfectly. Another fact is that it is a brutally dark comedy that has no problem throwing one brutal punchline after another at the viewer, and I must not forget the forever stoned Nicolas Bro, without whom the butchery would be nothing. Great, seeing this twenty times, I won't stop laughing just like that. And most importantly, even though it is a dark comedy, you can still feel that friendly atmosphere, which I felt from Adam's Apples and Flickering Lights. ()

Englisch A movie about loving one’s trade, bullying and family traumas. The bit about selling human meat is just a catalyst for a sea change for two wrecks of men. Jensen masterfully steers the story through unexplored alleys to be able to serve up chicken delight in the finale. Lie Kaas and Mikkelsen are simply excellent. It was an accident. You just sold his thigh, dumbass! ()
