Idealisten

A really pleasant surprise.

A fine production, with good performances, especially from Plaugborg. Rosendahl, did however overuse the old footage. The sequences was simply a drag at times... *Good

Danish political thriller about exposing government secrets from the cold war when Denmark officially said no to nuclear weapons, but apparently had a different deal going on with the US. And besides being a very true story, using real TV footage from the time to gain a real feeling of the times, the staging is impressively put together. Creates a urgency into the uncovering of the scandal and gives good detail into the remarkable cover-up by the new governments 20 years later.

Quite an achievement for a Danish political thriller.
