Speed Walking ( Kapgang )

This film is really great. Good acting and editing. A fabulous look at the trials and tribulations of being an adolescent. Takes me right back.

Martin is a sensitive boy who loved his mother, as any young person would and is very upset because of what has happened. He is friends with another boy called Kim and a girl named Kristine. All of them are attracted to each other, both boys hankering after the girl. The boys like to spend private time with each other and I am wondering whether the boys would like to be with each other or Kristine until he film nears its end, but I don't want to make a spoiler alert for anyone. Kim is a handsome boy but has a wicked smile. Although this is a good film, it is badly let down due to the in ability to display English sub titles with any certainty. it is pot luck whether or not the English version comes up. I and others have complained before about this, but there is no help or advice forthcoming This is very annoying and the DVD producer should do something about itOne very peculiar thing about the sub titles: There is a zero titles, Danish titles and the English titles. But the English can only be accessed after the Danish one has gone through. Is this standard practice or has my disc got a fault on it?

This is a classic coming of age tale. Teenage boy struggling to find his identity is suddenly touched by grief but displays tremendous strength of character to work through his issues and make a success of himself amidst all the adversity.A word of warning, however. The movie is in the original Danish language and although it is advertised as having English subtitles, they are not easily signposted. Neither the DVD cover nor the disc menu mentions an English language option at all. The trick is to start the movie with Danish subtitling and then use your player device remote control to find the English subtitles there.

Great movie, but didn't find the English subtitles. I saw the reviews that said start playing it and then switch to English subtitles with your remote, but I just play DVDs with my computer. My stand-alone DVD player quit on me some time back, but since I don't do DVDs much any more, I just use the player in the free VLC player on my computer. It's subtitle menu only listed German. However, it also had an "add subtitle file" option. I just searched for Speedwalking subtitles and found several versions in 5 languages. I pick an English one and had subtitles. After a while it got a minute or two behind, but it was still good enough to follow along. Maybe if I had installed a dedicated DVD playing app, it might have found the hidden English subtitles. If I start watching more DVDs I might do that. I opened the subtitle file in notepad to see if it would be easy to adjust the time once it was getting behind. No way. Each line of text had to have a start time and end time. It'd probably be less hassle to learn the language instead!

Good potential film, but hard to understand as no english subtitles to understand

story line was pathetic

The director, Niels Arden Oplev, impressed previously with Drommen (We Shall Overcome), another film whichcentres on powerful emotions experienced by young people.In Kapgang, Martin's emotions are put through the wringer as he has to find a way to come to terms with a family tragedy,proving himself the 'rock' for those around him to lean on.The scene at the cemetery is heart-rending. The 'speed-walking' (perhaps the source of Martin's inner strength) is fun to watchand the romantic feelings are so well portrayed - perhaps uniquely so in the history of film-making.So good that you can watch this film with English subtitles.

Fun and a very enjoyable watch really pleased I have seen this. great acting by all the young actors. There is a very sexual scene in the film so beware. but it is not gratuitous and it is in keeping with the theme of the movie. definitely well worth watching.
