Flugten ( Escape)

 

Flugten 2009

• Director: Katherine Windfeld
• Based on the book: no
• Cast: Iben Hjejle, Lars Mikkelsen, Faegh Zamani
• Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:

·       Iben Hjeljle – Gustav IIIs äktenskap, High Fidelity

·       Lars Mikkelsen – Sherlock, Flamman och citronen

• Why? Might be interesting.
• Seen: 29 April 2023      

       Danish journalist Rikke Lyngvig (Hjejle) is kidnapped in Afghanistan by a group of Taliban. She tries to reason with young Nazir (Zamani).

       There is more than one escape in the film and it jumps from one scene to the next in a rapid chain of events. It doesn’t always work but it’s interesting and some good points are made on the questions of terrorism and refugees. It’s well worth seeing.
