De Storste Helte (1996)

"De Storste Helte" is a Danish drama that digs into personal crisis and moral compromise. It carries the sharp social eye the genre does best. Trine Dyrholm carries the film, bringing the unguarded intensity that defines her career. The archive here holds 3 scenes that catch her at her rawest. One finds her topless, another moves into fuller nudity. A third adds to the tally with the same unflinching naturalism. Nothing here feels gratuitous; it plays like Dyrholm simply disappearing into the role. Fans of Danish cinema, and of Dyrholm's fearless screen work, will want to linger on this one.
