  • Gendered Mobility, Legacy and Transformative Sacrifice in the Screen Stories of Susanne Bier
    Networking Knowledge Position-in-frame (Jun. 2017) Position-in-frame: gendered mobility, legacy and transformative sacrifice in the screen stories of Susanne Bier. CATH MOORE, Deakin University ABSTRACT An integral connection point between the screenplay and reader/viewer is the protagonist’s transformative journey. The construction of this narrative backbone is critical to the articulation of overarching thematic concerns and story premise but also reflects the story creator’s worldview- one often coloured by representations of gender. The Hollywood model certainly divides narrative function along gender lines but does this representation hold true within a different cultural context? This article examines the selected screen stories of Danish director Susanne Bier whose partnership with screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen is one of Denmark’s most successful film partnerships. Employing a case study methodology I examine the dramatic function of and agency afforded screen characters and the critical dynamic between cultural landscape, practitioner preference and narrative inquiry. Key to this address is an exploration of mobility, legacy and sacrifice as textual considerations of gender and its utilisation as transnational narrative strategy. KEYWORDS Transnational, mobility, transformative, collaboration, gaze Refocusing a masculinised gaze? With persistent ubiquity Hollywood continues to cast a dominant shadow over much of the global film & TV landscape. Similarly pervasive is the figurehead of such industrial influence - the male protagonist

  • In a Better World Directed by Susanne Bier 2011 Suanne Bier Is a Very
    Translation from Greek to English: In a Better World directed by Susanne Bier 2011 Suanne Bier is a very important director who has been closely connected with the Dogma 95 movement, but who took a different direction in her later career, directing a line of movies that were well received by the audience with several awards, but that also received negative reviews. In 2011 the movie, “In a Better world” won an Oscar. While the title of the movie in Danish is “The Revenge”, the film was promoted in Greece with the title “Ισως αύριο- Maybe tomorrow”. The diversity in the title might insinuate the complexity of the issues in this moralistic- philosophic movie as well as the many levels of the scenario by Anders Thomas Jensen. The story takes place in 2 different film spaces – in a refugee camp in Africa in the dessert and in a Northeuropean town in the outskirts of Denmark where daily and dull routines are unfolded. The protagonists are 2 fathers with their sons. Anton, a doctor working at a refugee camp in Africa (played by Michael Persbrandt) and father of the 10 year old Elias (played by Markus Rigaard) is constantly absent in the life of his son as well as in his marriage with another doctor (played by Trine Dyrholm). Claus (played by Ulrich Thomsen) is a businessman who has recently lost his wife from cancer and who is facing the anger and accusation from his son Kristian (played by William John Nielsen) because of his constant absence. The parents, who are mentally absent to their sons while occupied with their professional lives, are incapable of being part of the boys personal lives.

    filmswelike M&M PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS MEN & CHICKEN A FILM BY Anders Thomas Jensen RUNTIME: 100 MINUTES / NOT RATED Canadian Distribution and Bookings Films We Like Mike Boyuk - mike@filmswelike.com Download press kit and high rez images: http://www.filmswelike.com/men-and-chicken SYNOPSIS Men & Chicken is a darkly hilarious slapstick comedy starring Mads Mikkelsen (“Hannibal,” ingeniously cast against type) about a pair of socially­challenged siblings who discover they are adopted half­brothers in their late father's videotaped will. Their journey in search of their true father takes them to the small, insular Danish island of Ork, where they stumble upon three additional half­brothers—each also sporting hereditary harelips and lunatic tendencies—living in a dilapidated mansion overrun by barn animals. Initially unwelcome by their newfound kin, the two visitors stubbornly wear them down until they’re reluctantly invited to stay. As the misfit bunch get to know each other, they unwittingly uncover a deep family secret that ultimately binds them together. This inventively bizarre and outlandish comedy is directed by acclaimed, Oscar®­winning director Anders Thomas Jensen and also stars David Dencik (The Girl With The Dragon ​ Tattoo.) ​ DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT ANDERS THOMAS JENSEN My intentions are to build on the universe that I have worked with in my previous three films: Flickering Lights, The Green Butchers, and Adam’s Apples. I want to make a sterilized narrative, ​ ​ ​ ​ where you can move in and out between genres, to build on the “no time / no place” universe in which I’ve been telling my stories previously.

DIRECTOR’S Statement “I never drink before breakfast.” The quote is from Churchill, who helped to defeat the Germans and win World War II, while under the excessive and constant influence of alcohol. Other great thinkers, artists and writers, such as: Tchaikovsky and Hemmingway have found courage and inspiration that way. After the first mouthfuls of alcohol, we all know the feeling of the conversation growing, the room getting bigger and the problems getting smaller. With this movie, we want to examine and salute alcohol’s ability to set people free.
