  • “The scene with the translator completely fried my brain. I guess since I'm danish, my brain went into full overtime and shut down when they spoke danish and english over each other, I couldn't understand anything at all and had to rewind the scene three times to get it. It was crazy, I've never tried that before, I was like I couldn't understand any of the languages.”
