‘The Promised Land’

 ‘The Promised Land’ (February 2)


The year is 1755. The place is a rural moorland in Danish countryside. The man is Mads Mikkelsen, playing a former military officer who decides to buy a piece of property and establish a settlement that will grant him a lordly title from the crown. The obstacles in his way: a rough terrain initially unfriendly to farming, a lack of abundant hired help to enlist in his cause, and most significantly, a sadistic nobleman (Simon Bennebjerg) who wants ownership of the land for himself and is prepared to do everything to crush his new neighbor’s spirit. Director Nikolaj Arcel (Riders of Justice) doesn’t just give you a movie that feels like it was made 30 years ago, when multiplexes were filled with violent, bloody historical epics. He also gives you a star vehicle that reminds you: Do not ever fuck with Mads Mikkelsen.

MOVIE INFO

In 18th century Denmark, Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) -- a proud, ambitious, but impoverished war hero -- sets out to tame a vast, uninhabitable land on which seemingly nothing can grow. He seeks to start farming crops, build a colony in the name of the King, and gain a noble title for himself. This beautiful but forbidding area also happens to be under the rule of the merciless Frederik De Schinkel, a preening nobleman who realizes the threat Kahlen represents to his power. Struggling against the elements and local brigands, Kahlen is joined by a couple who have fled the clutches of the rapacious De Schinkel. As this group of misfits begins to build a small community in this inhospitable place, De Schinkel swears vengeance, and the confrontation between him and Kahlen promises to be as violent and intense as these two men.
