In Denmark Susanne Bier is best known for her comedy 'The One and Only' but since Brothers were released she has shown the world that she is also an excellent director when it comes to doing drama. Brothers is an honest film about family bonds, love and crisis. The emotions are raw, the dialogue unforgiving and the actors' performances brilliant. Note: Ulrich Jensen from Festen (the Celebration) and a small role in Die Another Day. Nikolaj Lie Kaas from Reconstruction and Connie Nielsen from Gladiator. This is her first film in Danish and outside of Hollywood - and she delivers a fantastic performance. If this is your first Danish film it is an excellent choice and I am sure that you will be looking for more films from this small Scandinavian country with a massive gift for cinema.
