Danish filmmaker's emotional, queasy 'Second Chance'
Scandinavian countries consistently come out tops on the happiness index but Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier ("Love is All You Need") continues in her apparent quest to dig up the darkest muck in the river bed of the human soul. If you're familiar with Bier's world, you'll know how her characters always wrestle with self-doubt and morality issues, are mired in familial problems and are deeply, profoundly unhappy. "En Chance Til" ("A Second Chance") is possibly her most disturbing work to date and, coming from the director who specializes in gut-wrenching drama that also functions as modern social commentary, that speaks volumes. In other words, "A Second Chance" — despite its optimistic tone — is not for the faint of heart, and will likely deplete your resources of positivity and inner strength. Just alerting you to the dangers ahead.
