Rogue Pictures Presents THE UNBORN Now Playing

Danish director Ole Christian Madsen is a big favorite around here thanks to his strong work in drug drama Nordkraft and the bleak, Kafka-esque Prague, and we have been anxiously anticipating his next film, Flame and Citron. By far the biggest picture of his career, the film stars Mads Mikkelsen as one of a pair of legendary Danish resistance fighters during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II.
Copenhagen, 1944. Denmark is occupied by Nazi Germany. Flame and Citron are two legendary resistance fighters charged with liquidating Danish informers. By order of their commander, they now consent to kill Germans as well. But when Flame is asked to execute his girlfriend Ketty, an enigmatic Stockholm courier, he questions his orders wondering who Ketty really is ? In the struggle for freedom all zones appear grey and it becomes increasingly unclear who is friend and who is foe. Based on true events.
No trailer on this one yet, and only the one lonely still so far, but a reel of behind the scenes footage that aired on Danish TV has turned up online and the attention to detail is impressive. Can’t wait to see what Madsen does with this ...
