    Good find, Jon. Hadn’t heard of this one before. It was good, if slightly moralizing.

    Thanks!

    Was familiar with this film many years ago but never seen. This hard to find film is a gem, An excellent, poignant Danish film. Thanks Jon

    A good film—a sometimes awkward combination of expressionism, neo-realism and film noir. Loads of atmosphere—and a pervading sense of doom. Noir to the nth degree! Powerful stuff.
