Nils Malmros

Nils Malmros was born in Aarhus on 5 October 1944, the son of the neurosurgeon Richard Malmros and Eli Cold. He passed his school-leaving exam at his city's Cathedral School in 1964, tried furniture architecture studies for a year, then began medicine, which he completed in 1987 after more than twenty years of study. A self-taught filmmaker and admirer of Truffaut, he shot his first film as an amateur in 1968 and drew almost all the following ones from his own youth in Aarhus. He has received the Bodil for best Danish film four times.
