Anders-Thomas Jensen is a Director, Scriptwriter, Executive Producer, Script Supervisor and Costume Design Danois born on 6 april 1972
Anders Thomas Jensen (born 6 April 1972 in Frederiksværk) is a Danish screenwriter and film director.
Jensen won the Oscar for his 1998 film Election Night. He received Oscar nominations in the live-action short category for his films Ernst & Lyset (1996) and Wolfgang (1997). He also wrote The New Tenants, which won the 2009 Oscar for Best Live Action Short.
From the end of the 1990s and into the new millennium he wrote the screenplays for most of the Danish movie blockbusters of the period, including Mifune's Last Song (co-written with Søren Kragh-Jacobsen), In China They Eat Dogs, Open Hearts, Stealing Rembrandt, and Brothers.
In 2000 Anders Thomas Jensen for the first time directed a feature film: the action-comedy Flickering Lights, and since then directed The Green Butchers and Adam's Apples.
In 2005 he received the Nordisk Film Award (1000 Danish kroner times the age of Nordisk Film).
"As there was the Lubitsch touch and the Wilder touch, we can now speak of the Jensen touch -- a twinge of pathos acknowledged quietly, relying on our sympathy for the characters' bizarre frailties."
Entre 1996 et 1998, il a réalisé deux courts-métrages : Ernst & lyset (Ernst et la Lumière), Wolfgang et Valgaften (Soirée d'élections). Tous ont été nominés aux Oscars, et le dernier nommé a gagné une statuette.
En 2000, Anders Thomas Jensen réalise son premier long métrage, la comédie Blinkende lygter (Flickering Lights). Il a depuis réalisé De grønne slagtere (Les Bouchers verts) et Adams Æbler (Adam's Apples)
En 2005, il obtient le prix du cinéma nordique.
Il est marié à Line Kruse, une actrice danoise.

The film opens with Svend barbecuing tiny steaks in a backyard. His fiancée Tina bothers him about the food. Bjarne arrives and is introduced to one of Tina's co-workers. While they eat, Bjarne does not take to Beate's flirtation and kicks her under the table until she leaves crying. The next day, as Holger tells a customer a particularly blunt story about sausages, Svend complains to Bjarne that they could open a better butcher shop. Holger insults them and tells Svend that his marinade is terrible. Soon thereafter, Svend meets with "House Hans", a realtor, and Bjarne at a closed butcher shop, and decides to purchase it and open his own shop. Bjarne visits the sanatorium where his brain dead brother Eigil is being kept alive on machines, and tells Nurse Juhl to take him off life support because he needs the money he inherited. Back at the shop Svend and Bjarne prepare the shop for opening. They discuss hiring an electrician to fix the lights in the meat freezer, and business cards.
