There aren't many things worse for a man than being married, but one of them is being married to a woman who doesn't come home every night.  The only thing worse than that is getting a phone call from your wife asking for a ride home after one of her all-nighters, and the sole thing worse than that is to have to pick her up at a hotel, where she's clad only in a bedspread. These are all realities with which Mads (Lars Mikkelsen) must contend in Kira's Reason: A Love Story, the latest film to be made adhering to the covenants of the Dogme aesthetic.

Mads' wife, the titular Kira (Stine Stengade), has just been released after spending a couple of years in a mental institution, and it becomes clear pretty early on that she needs a lot more help.  But that doesn't stop her from getting her crazy on and making wild accusations about Mads having an affair while she was in the booby trap.  Or are those accusations so farfetched after all?  Co-written by director Ole Christian Madsen and The Celebration scribe Mogens Rukov, Reason is the most colorful Dogme film, and the best to portray beauty, albeit damaged beauty.
