The latest Danish director to join the wave of noir-oriented titles currently coming out of the Nordic nation? Dogme co-founder Kristian Levring, who joins the party with Fear Me Not. Fresh off of its appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival a trailer has just arrived for the film and - just like the rest of the recent Danish noirs - this is looking exceptional.
When Michael hears about a clinical trial for a new anti-depressant, he signs up on a whim. Unfortunately, the pills turn out to have serious side effects and the trial is abandoned. Michael refuses to give up his new-found sense of calm and self control which the pills have provided, so he decides to continue the experiment on his own. Intoxicated by his immediate success, Michael feels an urge to take control of other people's lives as well. Slowly, his psychological games grow more drastic, until he makes a discovery which forces him to view his actions in a terrifying new light.
Noir seems to suit the Danish sensibility perfectly and this one comes from one of the nation's very best. Check the trailer in the Twitch Player below the break.
