Thanks to Samuel Goldwyn Films, we’ve got an exclusive clip from Into the Darkness, the new World War II drama from veteran Danish filmmaker Anders Refn, which explores the disintegration of a family unit amid Denmark’s slow side into fascism under the shadow of the Third Reich. Check it out below…
Through a family and the relation between father and son, the film describes the dilemmas of the Danish population during World War II. Like the government, the farmers and the industry, the father, a successful owner of a big electronics factory, tries to make the best of the situation to keep the wheels rolling. However this leads him into a problematic collaboration with the Germans. His son, on the contrary, reacts against the increasing oppression and persecution of Jews and communists by joining the rising resistance movement.
Into the Darkness is set for release in theaters and on VOD on May 21st and features a cast that includes Jesper Christensen, Bodil Jørgensen, Mads Reuther, Gustav Dyekjær Giese, Sara Viktoria Bjerregaard, Lue Dittmann Støvelbæk, and Sylvester Byder.
