In the realm of inappropriate understated comedies, Larry David reigns as the unofficial king here in the states. If there's a connection to be made, "Klown" would be best described as a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm". The drab matter-of-fact writing shines through in "Klown" and also stands as a testament to the universal appeal of raunchy humor. In the grand scheme of things taboo-defining films are pretty self-sufficient in their ability to transcend language. "Klown" is very much a product of Denmark, and I say that knowing virtually nothing about the Danish culture. Yet, the quirkiness of the humor shines through as something uniquely European. Despite comparing it to the likes of Larry David, the film stands very much apart from anything American.
