Flame and Citron
Denmark 2008, 130 minutes
Dir. Ole Christian Madsen
English
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime / War
Aroview: Lavishly-appointed wartime thriller based on the true story of contrasting Danish resistance fighters as they take vengeance on the occupying Nazis and key collaborators in 1944.
The most expensive Danish production to date, this delivers a romantic anti-Nazi revenge fantasy with a straighter face than INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and with a more troubled conscience as the "heroes" suffer conflict and confusion in the fog of violence. As loyalties become murkier though, so does the plotting, though the thrills are soon reinstated after a sluggish middle section. Star Thure Lindhardt also does something to restore the cool factor to the much-maligned "ginger" male.
"A heady take on the wartime resistance tale that drags you right into the dismay felt by its heroes." - Film 4

3 stars (Good Enough) The first hour and a bit were very strong but the screenplay gradually began to repeat itself. Excellent production values though do help throughout. ~Tubbs
