A War - Sunday 25th September 5pm

We continue the season with another Oscar nominated film, this time from Denmark home of the tense thriller – A War. Directed by Tobias Lindholm who directed the excellent 'A Hijacking' (you can sense a pattern in his film titles), this time his story follows Captain Pedersen on the frontline in Afghanistan and back home in Denmark, where he and his family are forced to live with the consequences of a decision he made in the heat of battle. Peter Keough from the Boston Globe thinks "[It] may ... be among the best war movies of all time", whilst David Edelstein (New York Magazine) says "A war confirms the darkest, least mentionable secret of traumatized veterans-that what haunts them is not just what they saw and what was done unto them, but what they did".
