In 18th century Denmark, Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) – a proud, ambitious, but impoverished war hero -- sets out to tame a vast, uninhabitable land on which seemingly nothing can grow. He seeks to start farming crops, build a colony in the name of the King, and gain a noble title for himself. This beautiful but forbidding area also happens to be under the rule of the merciless Frederik De Schinkel, a preening nobleman who realizes the threat Kahlen represents to his power. Struggling against the elements and local brigands, Kahlen is joined by a couple who have fled the clutches of the rapacious De Schinkel. As this group of misfits begins to build a small community in this inhospitable place, De Schinkel swears vengeance, and the confrontation between him and Kahlen promises to be as violent and intense as these two men.

Mads is in it, so I'm watching it.

I always keep my eyes peeled for any movie with Mads Mikkelson. He brings so much power and honesty to his characters, that it is always a great experience to see his films.

[Beaut_Beau]

Mads has such an electrifying screen presence, he is so enjoyable to watch in everything i have ever seen him in

[owendispensa]

Saw this at the Chicago Film Festival at the Gene Siskel center. Very small theater, not the biggest showing either. And holy shit. I was floored by this movie. It felt so real, every moment of it. I went through a range of every emotion up until the end. May be my favorite of the year, a must watch.

Things rarely turn out the way we imagined they would.
Madd Mikkelsen is a pure gem. Pereviously Another round now the promised land (definitely oscar ). He is the actor one who never disappoints u.

Mads is one of the greatest actors ever

After so long in Denmark, no matter how much I learn, Danish always proves to me that it is one step ahead of my comprehension.

I watched this movie last week. I was only person in the theater for the 9:30 PM showing. I was mesmerized by this film and believe that this movie is a pure masterpiece. Absolutely phenomenal!

[Schumifestonia]

Hoping this movie does well internationally! It's a grim, heavy and cruel movie in every aspect, but I think a necessary eye-opener for many audiences. It's a good reality check just how difficult and socially unequal conditions prevailed in the Nordics just a few centuries ago.

[DashDonivan]

This looks fantastic! Mads is an amazing actor.

[mairtohainle]

Best film of 2023 ...great writing directing and acting ...a masterclass in acting by Mads...this film is like a light midst the growing gloom!

[johnnyv.]

How did this epic masterpiece not win an Oscar for Best Foreign film?? A 18th century period piece that is as close to perfect and entertaining as a film can get!

[dudove]

Mads is such an underrated actor. He's so good.

[sara-subramanian]

Few movies capture the "pioneer spirit" as well as this movie does. Everything about the movie is top notch! Kudos to the entire team! 👏👏👏

[fluidjazz]

is what authentic narrative and story telling looks like, no-bullshit ESG narrative. Congratulations.

[natarmstrong]

What a awesome film.... And what a brilliant performance by the little girl Ann-May-Mouse (Melina Hagberg). ❤

[maxinejordan]

One Of The Greatest Actors Of All Time.

[vaderdown]

As usual Mads puts on an amazing performance, i'll pretty much watch anything he's in and he always delivers.

[outofaspell]

I got to see it once at a small festival and I can’t wait to see it again and eventually get the dvd when it’s released.

[JanTetzlaff]

I love Mads Mikkelsen. So glad he's been in more and more good movies
