In a Better World - Hævnen (2010)
Synopsis
Few directors
have addressed the issues of the past decade as courageously as Denmark’s
Susanne Bier.
With the much celebrated Brothers, she raised troubling
questions about the First World’s relationship with the Third.
When new kid Christian arrives in class, he and Elias bond over a mutual
hatred of Sofus. Surly and vicious since the loss of his mother, Christian is
hardening into a rigid and ferocious manifestation of masculinity.
His
heartbroken father, Claus (Ulrich Thomsen), is finding it impossible to cope
with Christian’s behaviour. The volatile situation is exacerbated by Anton’s
return home and by an encounter between Anton, Elias, Christian and a violent,
bullying mechanic (_Pusher_’s Kim Bodnia).
At the heart of the film is the issue of male responsibility, specifically
what it means to stand up for yourself and others. Troubled and confused by what
he faced in Africa, Anton has no credible response to Christian’s demand that he
answer the mechanic’s abusive behaviour in kind.
The painful, dangerous
rift between Christian and Claus, and the growing distance between Elias and his
distracted parents, only makes the situation worse.
Left alone to solve
their problems, Elias and Christian grow even closer. As their clandestine acts
of vengeance become more drastic, the film builds to an almost unbearable
intensity.
Far more than a mere exercise in suspense, the film raises
essential questions about a world that has grown increasingly complex.
