Date:

IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#94. Civilization

Director: Susanne Biers
Writer(s): Anders Thomas Jensen and Biers
Producers: Sisse Graum Jørgensen (After the Wedding)
Distributor: Rights Available.

The Gist: Scripted by Biers and Anders Thomas Jensen, this takes place in Sudan’s refugee camps and in a little Danish provincial town. Two Danish families cross paths and an unusual and dangerous friendship develops.….(more)

Cast: Ulrich Thomsen, Mikael Persbrandt and Trine Dyrholm.

Why is it on the list?: Pairing with one of the better writers in the business, while she awaits further ops in the U.S., Biers – a master in the dramatic field will instead turn to her native Denmark and a backdrop that further expands the crushing blows found in her narratives. 

Release Date/Status?: A major film festival showing – TIFF seems like the most logical.
