Remix is a Danish feature film released on January 25, 2008.
It is directed by Martin Hagbjer, who won the 2005 Prize of the Children's Jury at Lübeck Nordic Film Days.
It stars Micky Skeel Hansen as a 16-yer-old pop singer Ruben, who is offered a record contract by the music executive Tanya, portrayed by Camilla Bendix. The film, which co-stars Jakob Cedergren, Sofie Lassen-Kahlke, Henrik Prip and Anette Støvelbæk, follows Ruben's fall from grace in the hands of the music industry.
Remix is inspired by the true story of Danish pop idol Jon (Jon Gade Nørgaard), who was also the subject of the documentary feature film Solo (2007).
Prior to the film's theatrical release, its original songs were made available online for free, legal download, which attracted wide, positive attention.
Critical reception
Reviews were mixed. Most critics noted a lack of surprise, but praised the fine acting, especially by the film's two leads Camilla Bendix and Micky Skeel Hansen.
Berlingske Tidende's film critic Ebbe Iversen gave the film four stars out of six and called Micky Skeel Hansen "a true star with musicality, attractive looks and a both defiant and vulnerable radiance which gives him the appearance of a new James Dean".[1]
