In 18th century Denmark, Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) – a proud, ambitious, but impoverished war hero -- sets out to tame a vast, uninhabitable land on which seemingly nothing can grow. He seeks to start farming crops, build a colony in the name of the King, and gain a noble title for himself. This beautiful but forbidding area also happens to be under the rule of the merciless Frederik De Schinkel, a preening nobleman who realizes the threat Kahlen represents to his power. Struggling against the elements and local brigands, Kahlen is joined by a couple who have fled the clutches of the rapacious De Schinkel. As this group of misfits begins to build a small community in this inhospitable place, De Schinkel swears vengeance, and the confrontation between him and Kahlen promises to be as violent and intense as these two men.

Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Amanda Collin, Gustav Lindh, Melina Hagberg

    I always keep my eyes peeled for any movie with Mads Mikkelson. He brings so much power and honesty to his characters, that it is always a great experience to see his films.

    Saw this at the Chicago Film Festival at the Gene Siskel center. Very small theater, not the biggest showing either. And holy shit. I was floored by this movie. It felt so real, every moment of it. I went through a range of every emotion up until the end. May be my favorite of the year, a must watch.

    Mads has such an electrifying screen presence, he is so enjoyable to watch in everything i have ever seen him in

    After so long in Denmark, no matter how much I learn, Danish always proves to me that it is one step ahead of my comprehension.

    Things rarely turn out the way we imagined they would. Madd Mikkelsen is a pure gem. Pereviously Another round now the promised land (definitely oscar ). He is the actor one who never disappoints u.

    Hoping this movie does well internationally! It's a grim, heavy and cruel movie in every aspect, but I think a necessary eye-opener for many audiences. It's a good reality check just how difficult and socially unequal conditions prevailed in the Nordics just a few centuries ago.
  • @ryan8430
    Mads is one of the greatest actors ever
  • @anthonyseta4566
    I watched this movie last week. I was only person in the theater for the 9:30 PM showing. I was mesmerized by this film and believe that this movie is a pure masterpiece. Absolutely phenomenal!

  • @dudove1
    Mads is such an underrated actor. He's so good.
  • As a German, whenever I hear Danish i think i understand the first half of the sentence, then the end of the sentence is just blääppüüüüüstööö like whales talking to each other.
  • @vaderdown26
    As usual Mads puts on an amazing performance, i'll pretty much watch anything he's in and he always delivers.
  • @fluidjazz
    .............this is what authentic narrative and story telling looks like, no-bullshit ESG narrative. Congratulations.
  • @natarmstrong8931
    What a awesome film.... And what a brilliant performance by the little girl Ann-May-Mouse (Melina Hagberg). ❤
  • @tokiburoak7457
    I love the subtitles and how they keep it real and authentic.

    I got to see it once at a small festival and I can’t wait to see it again and eventually get the dvd when it’s released.
