Brothers (Brødre)
This second collaboration between director Susanne Bier and scriptwriter Anders Thomas Jensen (their first, Open Hearts, was a hit at AFF 03) is about people's lives being turned upside down by events outside their control. Michael has everything sorted: a successful military career, a beautiful wife and family. His younger brother Jannik is a drifter, living on the edge of the law. When Michael is sent to Afghanistan on a UN mission the balance between the two brothers changes forever.
Reviews
“Brothers observes the fallout from a tribulation that utterly vanquishes its victim's inhibitions against violence - a slippage that effortlessly carries a sharp political charge.”
Jessica Winter, CinemaScope
