‘Teddy Bear’
at Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater
Guild Hall’s free winter film series, presented in partnership with the East Hampton Library, is screening “Teddy Bear,” a Danish film about a lonely, 38-year-old bodybuilder’s quest for love, on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. in the John Drew Theater.
Directed by Mads Matthiesen, the story follows Dennis, played by Kim Kold, a champion Danish bodybuilder, from the tiny Copenhagen apartment he shares with his diminutive, emasculating mother to Thailand, where he meets Toi, a friendly woman who owns a local bodybuilding gym. The late-adult coming-of-age story won the World Cinema Directing Award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
