In a better World
Dir: Susanne Bier
2010
*****
A fantastic film with two main interweaving stories. Susanne Bier started off as a Dogme 95 director, a manifesto I was a big fan off but it did have a limited shelf life - what has come from the movement and from it's directors are more focused, meaningful and realistic films. In a better World is a perfect example of this. I'm really glad it was nominated for an Oscar but it still doesn't seem to have given it the publicity it deserved as I still don't know many people who have seen it. I still think Biutiful should have won but it's a deserved winner and better than most of the non-foreign language fans nominated. Isn't it time to get rid of this category?
