Technical: col/2.35:1 107m
Director: Nikolaj Arcel

Synopsis:
With the incumbent lying in a coma following a car accident, members of the Danish Centre party vie for the post of Chairman on the eve of the elections. At the same time a young and connected journalist finds himself prematurely raised to a position reporting from Parliament...
Review:
Intriguing 'corridors of power' thriller, with the familiar trope of the hero being used as an unwitting pawn in the Machiavellian goings-on. Strong on lighting and atmosphere, and shot in desaturated greyish hues, it boasts strong performances and an All the President's Men-style finish.
