&#;Sauna&#; Review: A Melancholy and Sensual Danish Drama About Queer Desire With Complications
In the catchy Scandi-pop song that plays over the end credits of Sauna, Anton Falck’s “All the Pretty Boys,” the singer fantasizes about creature prince charming in a world of beautiful men, immune from rejection. From the outside, that envision might seem attainable for Johan, a recent transplant to Copenhagen who has come to the great city to live more openly as a new gay man.
