    As Foriegn Films Go, This One Is Special.

    by Alon Patterson

    Reading a film puts a lot of people off. That's understandable in that it's difficult to watch and read at the same time. Still, some films transcend this deficit and this is definitely one of them. It's an absolutely beautifully photographed feature. The language translation doesn't diminish it's value one bit. Rich sets, extraordinary costumes, near perfect lighting and photography worthy of the AFI, I'd say look for this one at the Oscars. If it's not in the foreign film category, it was cheated. See this film. If you're a fan of period costume dramas, you definitely won't be disappointed.

    Bravo!!!

    Very nicely done. I laughed, I got angry, I sat at the edge of my seat, I cried...it was well acted, flawlessly written and beautiful. (Mikkelsen is Brilliant!!) I enjoyed every character...The King, The Doctor, The Queen, The Court....even the dog. Mikkelsen's ability to change the mood of a single moment with only the slightest adjustment in his expression is Incredible! To convey something clearly with such a subtle change without saying a single word is a skill all it's own...Bravo!! (Mikkelsen also does this quite well in Hannibal) I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I am a Mads fan but even if I weren't this is definitely a must see! Forget that it's a "period" piece (as some will avoid it for that very reason) go see it because its History, because its true, because its a love story between three very different people....see it because its worth seeing!
