- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 45 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1912: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Of the films that Psilander made at Nordisk during the first two years it is the film Dødsspring til Hest fra Cirkuskuplen (The Great Circus Catastrophe), that is worth noting. Maybe not so much for Psilander's acting, but for the sensational, action-packed storylines that he was in. This film shows the other side of Psilander's fame: his daring. He was an excellent rider and looked fantastic in long riding boots and elegant riding jackets and this skill was exploited in his films.
