ARCTIC

Mads Mikkelsen in survival mode: As a nameless pilot stranded in the icy desert he has to stand up to the elements. Director Joe Penna may have started out as a Brazilian Youtube sensation, but his feature film debut displays an aplomb that would befit one of the old master directors. Without any gimmicks or artificial dramatizations he tells the age-old story of man's fight against nature, perfectly cast with Denmark's leading man when it comes to displaying stoic masculinity.
