THE PROMISED LAND (Denmark)
A Danish period drama. From BAFTA nominated writer and director Nikolaj Arcel comes a powerful Nordic epic starring Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Another Round). In 1755, the impoverished Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) sets out to conquer a vast uninhabitable land with a seemingly impossible goal; to cultivate valuable crops and build a colony for the King in exchange for a desperately desired royal name for himself. But the sole ruler of the area, the merciless Frederik De Schinkel, determinedly believes this territory belongs to him. When De Schinkel learns that a recently escaped couple in his employ has taken refuge with Kahlen, the privileged and spiteful ruler swears vengeance, doing everything in his power to drive the captain away. But Kahlen will not waver and nobly takes up the unequal battle – not only risking his life, but also the family of outsiders that has formed around him. Danish with English subtitles.
“The Promised Land is visually splendid and utterly absorbing, a rags-to-riches/vengeance/love story packed with action and heartbreak” – Metacritic
“The Promised Land” builds steadily and gracefully, drawing you in with drama and a welcome old-school commitment to rounded characters, moral clarity and emotionally satisfying storytelling” – New York Times.
“The most gripping film about potato farming since The Martian, this Danish period epic has Mads Mikkelsen on imperious form” – Time Out

ALL OF US STRANGERS
All of Us Strangers is a BAFTA-nominated British romantic fantasy film, a glorious flawless magic-realist meditation on grief, starring Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, and Claire Foy. A gorgeous, shattering and deeply personal film – the story tells of a relationship that develops between screenwriter Adam and his mysterious neighbour Harry, and Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they died 30 years ago. And while Scott acts as our emotional anchor, grounding the supernatural elements of the story, the entire cast is impeccable throughout. A most wonderful movie, a heart breaking story with a loving ending.
“This deeply personal portrait of newfound love and a traumatic past is an emotionally wrenching masterpiece” – The Guardian
“Examines profound grief and love through a fantastical lens that is always grounded in human emotion” – Rotten Tomatoes 96/100.
“A sad but gorgeous odyssey: a warm blanket of a film, and a tender portrait of a fragile man” – Empire.
