A strong movie with genious actors. Connie Nielsen really has a special glow in this movie. But once again american cinema could not resist to make its own adaptation of this movie. so be sure to watch this original and not the new american movie "brothers".

Bier tries to give us bleeding humanity on a plate; the result is unpalatable. full review
While its focus is domestic drama, the film doesn't shy away from harsh scenes of wartime violence. full review
