Review
Machine-translated from Danish.
Colin Nutley's "House of Angels" from 1992 became a great international success, and rightly so. Unfortunately, Colin Nutley has taken a little too much of a lesson from the Americans and their penchant for sequels. With House of Angels – The Second Summer we are back in the charming universe of the first film. The only problem is that Colin Nutley has no story to tell, so the next two and a quarter hours are spent on small disconnected episodes that aren't really hung on a plot.
Fanny and Zac return to a burnt-down House of Angels, but that doesn't really pose any great problems. Both Ivar and Axel lay claim to being Fanny's father, while she tries to keep the truth secret a little longer. When Ivar has won a lot of money on the lottery, Fanny persuades Ivar and Gottfried to travel to America and visit their brother Sven, who settled in New York many years ago.
"House of Angels – The Second Summer" thrives for a long time on the joy of reunion, but not long enough!
