Picturenose’s Otilia Ilie reviews this film from director Susanne Bier (After the Wedding (2006)). The tale of two families won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.Hævnen (In a Better World) (2010)
An emotionally fascinating and breathtaking offering from the very outset, Hævnen (In a Better World) (2010) manages perfectly to capture the essence of the world we live in. Loneliness, fear, pain, revenge, justice, empathy, violence and frustration – all these play out as seen through the eyes of children and their parents in a fragile world. The movie argues in a realistic and melancholy fashion that no matter how good we are, the world around us remains unchanged and that good and evil have, at essence, the same roots.
Mikael Persbrandt is Anton in "In a Better World" (2010)
Two young boys, Christian (William Johnk Nielsen) and Elias (Markus Rygaard) become friends at school. Both have problems in their families and in the outside world. Elias is Swedish and constantly bullied at school, while Christian is having a hard time recovering after his mother’s death.
Elias’s parents are going through a divorce: his father, Anton (Mikael Persbrandt) is a doctor working in an African village and his mother, Marianne (Trine Dyrholm) is trying to forgive her husband for cheating on her. Christian’s father, Claus (Ulrich Thomsen) has moved back from London after his wife’s death and realizes that he is gradually losing his son to resentment and a violent desire for revenge.
As the boys’ friendship evolves, so do the problems they face. Nielsen’s performance as Christian develops excellently and we are presented with a young boy so full of rage because of his mother’s death that his need for revenge against the world is written all over him. Elias, although he is much more innocent and sweet-hearted than Christian, remains his friend but, after a revenge operation that unexpectedly turns into a disaster, the lessons are left for the boys’ parents to learn...
