Flame & Citron

I've been a relative late-comer to the Mads Mikkelsen fan train, having seen the Pusher series only two years ago. As always, the man is completely mesmerising, this time as half of a pair of Danish insurgents who murder their way through a large swath of the occupying Nazi forces during WWII.

These are not nice people, although not exactly anti-heroes either. They're trying to do the right thing, but as always in true wartime stories the entire thing is a relatively dark shade of grey.

Gorgeous cinematography, and superb acting carry this, because the story is relatively slow and a little hard to follow, since it is based on real people. I wouldn't watch it just for the plot, but thanks to the care that went into making it I would happily recommend it to anyone.
