A Bluebird in My Heart

"Slow burn. Loved it! [Based on Dannie M. Martin’s book The Dishwasher (the film’s title is actually taken from a poem by Charles Bukowski), Bluebird follows a stoical Danish ex-con named Danny (Roland Moller), who, for unclear reasons, is serving the remainder of his sentence on partial house arrest at a fleabag hotel somewhere in Francophone Europe. He gets a job washing dishes at a nearby restaurant and soon befriends an unruly teenage girl, Clara, who has a nasty run-in with a local drug dealer that leaves her severely shook up. Put two and two together, and it’s all-too easy to predict how Danny will be drawn back into a life of crime, defending an innocent victim at his own peril.]"
