Flame & Citron

Starring Mads Mikkelson, Thure Lindhardt, and Stine Stengade, Flame & Citron is a 2008 Danish film based on true events in the underground resistance to Germany in World War 2.  I have to say I really liked this film. True story about spies and deception and betrayal with a really nice film noir element to it and great actors and acting.  Amidst the initial deciphering and orienting oneself about what was going on plot wise juxtaposed with the Danish subtitles, director and co-writer Lars Madsen reveals a world of intriguing characters in this shadowy world that constantly shifts the murky layers of grey among each character, including the Nazis.  There's also an integral romantic plot element to it that makes one think of those great film noir war films of the 40's. Flame & Citron had a lot of success obviously, but it was completely off my radar.  So it was a gem of a film to discover and view and learn about.
