Nikolaj Arcel, Denmark, 127 mins, Period Drama
A brooding Mads Mikkelsen excels in this Danish historical epic. A military captain is determined to cultivate a patch of moorland and gain prestige and wealth but capricious bureaucrats and one cruel landowner stand in his way. Celebrated for cinematography that captures impenetrable fogs, nights of howling wind, dark fairytale forests and the interior of a castle lit by hundreds of candles.
