Mads Mikkelsen defies nature and authority in an epic historical drama.

Bastarden
2023, Nikolaj Arcel

Denmark–Germany–Sweden
127 minutes, Danish with Russian subtitles

Starring: Mads Mikkelsen, Amanda Collin, Gustav Lindh, Simon Bennebjerg

Ludvig Kahlen, a retired Danish army captain hoping for a title of nobility, seeks royal permission to cultivate the Jutland moorland and takes up the backbreaking work. The new-found farmer’s vigorous activity makes him an enemy of the local merciless landowner.

Shot from The Promised Land, 2023

The kind of ravishing, rousing epic we don’t really get much of anymore.

— Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

Mikkelsen’s expressive and pithy face presents a landscape no less spectacular than the austere Danish landscape. The film brings together an epic historical plot, a love story, and visual appeal.
