IN A BETTER WORLD (2010)
A film by Susanne Bier
Winner of the 2011 Oscar & Golden Globe award for Best Foreign
Film, IN A BETTER WORLD is a gripping drama about revenge and
the power of forgiveness from internationally acclaimed director
Susanne Bier (After The Wedding).
From a war-torn refugee camp to the deceptively idyllic Danish
countryside, two fragile worlds are inextricably linked by conflict and
violence. Anton is a doctor whose work bridges the divide between
these two dramatically contrasted lands and who must confront an
unavoidable moral dilemma. His son Elias, the victim of school
bullies, forms a friendship with the troubled Christian, but this soon
transforms into a dangerous alliance.
IN A BETTER WORLD is a powerhouse piece of filmmaking that
asks demanding questions about violence and the difficulty of
‘turning the other cheek’.
