Ole Christen Madsen's new film, Flame and Citron, comes out in Denmark in the end of March. In my opinion, Ole Christen Madsen is an extremely overlooked Danish director. Madsen doesn't make dogme films, which keeps him under the radar of international critics, and even on the outskirts of Danish cinema. I'm intrigued by this film's budget - at 10 million US dollars, it has the largest budget of any film ever made in Denmark. It's also worth noting that Mads Mikkelsen is starring, and I LOVE Mads Mikkelsen. As I've seen almost all of his films, I was more than a little overjoyed when he showed up in Casino Royale back in 2006. I can only hope that this film is available in the US sometime in the next year.

For those unversed in the Danish Resistance, 'Flame' and 'Citron' were two famous resistance fighters, charged with the task of "liquidating" Danish informers while Denmark was occupied by the Nazis. They later went on to kill a number of influential Germans occupying the country as well.
