Mads Mikkelsen as a viking in a film from Nicolas Winding Refn? Yes please. Easily one of most anticipated films to see this year! Put this one on your radar.

For those in the US your best chances will be at film festivals to see it. If I catch any of its announced festival screenings I’ll be sure to post them here. I haven’t seen anyone pick up its North American rights yet so film festivals will be the only way to catch it until its eventual Danish or UK DVD release in 2010.

Synopsis:
1000 AD. For years, One Eye, a mute warrior of supernatural strength, has been held prisoner by the Norse chieftain Barde. Aided by Are, a boy slave, One Eye slays his captor and together he and Are escape, beginning a journey into the heart of darkness.

On their flight, One Eye and Are board a Viking vessel but the ship is soon engulfed by an endless fog that clears only as the crew sights an unknown land. As the new world reveals its secrets and the Vikings confront their terrible and bloody fate, One Eye discovers his true self.

Female fans of the site constantly demand more and more and more Gael Garcia Bernal movie wallpaper and I’m happy to deliver as I come across any. Up today we have some fresh images from his upcoming film Mammoth, which once again will place him on the world stage of cinema when it gets its big international premiere next month in the main competition at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival.

Hard to tell yet exactly how this chain of event style film will play out other than it looks like a rather gloomy family and social drama. Advance word is that the script by Lukas Moodysson who also directs is very solid.

Fresh on the heals of the news IFC Films has snatched up US distribution rights (read here), here are three more images to wet your appetite for Flame & Citron (Flammen & Citronen) and I must say, these three certainly sell the film. The artwork with Mads Mikkelsen and Thure Lindhardt looks particularly strong. The battle scene with Thure Lindhardt looks very compelling and the still of Stine Stengade makes her look as lovely as I’ve ever seen her!

This film will be screening at the 35th Telluride Film Festival and at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The creative fusion of Anders Thomas Jensen and Susanne Bier turn in one of the more memorable family melodrama’s of this decade. IFC Films has this film out on home video and is a highly recommended video rental or purchase. Mads Mikkelsen turns in another stellar performance and Stine Fischer Christensen (who is also great in Echo) really plays her highly emotional and roller coaster role to perfection. Rolf Lassgard is also of note here as he steals nearly every scene he is in with a very gripping portrayal that as much as you want to hate him, you can’t help but ultimately feel sympathy. The in-your-face camera work does take a bit to get used to, but after awhile you won’t realize it and certainly adds more tension to the melodrama throughout.

A melodrama tale of family secrets and a marriage on the rocks shapes this 2006 visually dazzling Ole Christian Madsen film that features unbelievably naked and riveting performances by Mads Mikkelsen and Stine Stengade. The film has been released on DVD in Denmark and Australia with English subtitles, but has yet to find a US video release.
