WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT LOVE ADDICT IS PREMIERING ON THE GUARDIAN’S WEBSITE
VALENTINE'S DAY WILL SEE THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW DANISH DOCUMENTARY LOVE ADDICT - A FILM ABOUT BEING DEPENDENT ON LOVE – ON THE GUARDIAN’S WEBSITE.
LOVE ADDICT, which is the first of Danish Documentary films to be hosted on the Guardian’s website will be available to purchase as a streamed video on demand on Valentine’s Day to online users worldwide. LOVE ADDICT goes beyond love, it is a film about fantasy and longing. About how it feels to be addicted to love, to rush from zero to velcro at first sight and how the most romantic love story can turn into an all-consuming obsession.
Richard Thompson, strategic marketing partnerships manager, Guardian News & Media, said: “We are really pleased to be hosting Love Addict on the Guardian. It is a fascinating and sensitive insight into the world of love addiction. Hosting films from award-winning documentary makers, like this, allows us to give our audience the opportunity to discover amazing content from around the world.”
“We are proud that THE GUARDIAN has chosen us and our film to represent the best of the documentary genre and pleased by the thought that we can now reach millions of viewers across continents”, says film producer Sigrid Dyekjær “we have worked intensively to establish worldwide distribution of Danish Documentary's films.”
The Danish production company Danish Documentary, based in Copenhagen, includes award-winning film directors such as Pernille Rose Grønkjær (The Monastery), Phie Ambo (Free the Mind), Eva Mulvad (The Good Life), Mikala Krogh (Everything is relative) and producer Sigrid Dyekjær.

Fabulous Danish Reviews for LOVE ADDICT!
***** (5 stars) EKKO Magazine says "in this ambitious film - changing visual and emotional tone depending on the stories we hear - a strong identification is created that makes us reflect on what this addiction can lead to and if you yourself have loved too much - or too little."
**** (4 stars) POLITIKEN: "The film does not only leave a strong impression but also asks the tricky question of the careless way we in the public room use love as a total facade-discipline."
**** (4 stars) BERLINGSKE TIDENDE: "With LOVE ADDICT Pernille Rose Grønkjær brings an overlooked disorder in focus and what makes it more interesting is that the participants reflects insighfully well on their actions".
INFORMATION says "You laugh and cry through these stories of this human condition and from time to time you recognize more of yourself than you would actually like to."

European filmmakers can shoot someone sitting on the toilet and make it look like pure art.
Last week Pernille Rose Grønkjær called me up and invited me to New York City. I had taken part in a documentary on love addiction two years ago with G, my "person of addiction" and it was finally finished. Grønkjær, the director, wanted me to come up and be one of the first to see it. I was thrilled, but scared as hell that exposing my "story" would be a loss of personal dignity. If there was one thing I wanted to avoid it was being presented as a "junkie" or some reality TV nightmare– hard lighting, stark camera angles, disproportionate, ugly presentation, compromising bodily or facial expressions- face down in the gutter type stuff.
That wasn't me.
