The Promised Land (15)
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel
★★★★
IN 1755, an impoverished war hero aims to conquer and cultivate the harsh and barren Danish heath in the name of the king in exchange for a royal title and a manor in this slow-burning yet brutal period drama directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel.
Mads Mikkelsen delivers another searing performance as the brooding Captain Ludvig Kahlen, the illegitimate son of a wealthy landowner and his housemaid, who is determined to obtain what was denied him by birth.
