FILM FROM DENMARK: Featured on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 6 p.m.
THE HOUR OF THE LYNX (I LOSSENS TIME)
2013, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, Denmark, 100 min. With Sofie Gråbøl, Søren Malling
This offbeat entry in the Nordic Noir movement reunites Gråbøl and Malling, co-stars of the international hit series “The Killing,” in a psychological mystery with provocative mystical undertones. A female priest is summoned to an institution for violent mental patients in an attempt to reach a disturbed young man (Frederik Christian Johansen, utterly and unsettlingly convincing) who claims to be acting on orders from God. The overall effect is a bit like SHUTTER ISLAND crossed with IN COLD BLOOD. Making his first feature in five years, director Kragh-Jacobsen is best known as one of the four original Dogma “brothers.” There is nothing Dogmaesque about this elegantly crafted film, but the soulful humanism that distinguished MIFUNE is much in evidence. In Danish with English subtitles. Courtesy of the Danish Film Institute and the Embassy of Denmark. Digital widescreen. Note: Contains simulated violence against people and animals. (MR)
