Days of Zorns (Danish original title: Flammen og Citronen ) is a factual historical thriller by Danish director Ole Christian Madsen about two resistance fighters Bent Faurschou-Hviid (flames) and Jørgen Haagen Schmith (lemons) of the Danish resistance group Holger Danske . The Danish film was released in German cinemas on August 28, 2008.
action
It tells a chapter from the time of the German occupation of Denmark in World War II . The two underground fighters Flammen (“the flame”) and lemons (“the lemon”), who are folk heroes in Denmark to this day, initially liquidate collaborators on behalf of the Danish resistance - completely convinced of their mission and accordingly merciless. They are not only shown as shining heroes, but get increasingly caught in an opaque network between good and evil.
Her superior Winther, who allegedly acts on behalf of the British, orders the murder of the chief of the German Abwehr Gilbert, who, however, shows himself to be an opponent of the Nazis, while the murdering Gestapo chief Hoffmann is to be spared. Winther himself is involved in unclear business transactions. Murdering from an ambush becomes a great burden for both of them, especially when they act on their own and kill a child in an attack on Hoffmann.
Citrons family becomes more and more estranged from him, his marriage falls apart. Flammen is fascinated by the double agent Ketty and gets involved in an ambivalent relationship. In the end, neither of them escaped the Gestapo: Flames evaded his arrest by suicide using a poison capsule, Citronen died in a hail of bullets from German soldiers.
background
The shooting locations were the large outdoor backdrops on the outdoor area of Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam ( Germany ), as well as motifs in Copenhagen , Valby Bakke in Frederiksberg ( Denmark ) and Prague ( Czech Republic ).
Reviews
Heike Barnitzke wrote in TV Digital 18 on August 22, 2008 that this is not a brilliant heroic epic, but a classic gangster film full of broken heroes, which, however, lacks tension. The two great leading actors wouldn't change that.
Julia Evers awarded the film four out of six possible stars and wrote in the OÖN on Saturday, January 17th, 2009 that the film was an interesting work on contemporary Danish history. The names of the two resistance fighters who fought for their country and executed Nazi collaborators would be part of general education in Denmark.
"Dark study about guilt and atonement, foreign and self-determination, which tells differently about the futile search for justice in the face of dehumanized states of emergency."
Awards
The two main actors Mads Mikkelsen and Thure Lindhardt were nominated as best actor for the European Film Award 2008 .
