Land of mine streaming1/2/2023 ![]() There’s a question about whether Denmark violated the Geneva Convention by forcing POWs to perform such dangerous work. POWs were forced to walk over mines, with locals picnicking while they watched them detonate. Zandvliet (who also wrote the original script based on his research with amateur historians) deals with the complexities of post-war revenge and responsibility. The director was accused of being unpatriotic in his depiction of this moment in Danish history. Oscar-nominated, this Danish-German co-production caused considerable controversy in Denmark. Roland Møller served time in prison for assault and only became an actor in his late 30s but his performance here as the embittered sergeant is on a par with Mads Nikkelsen's best work. Slowly the Germans stop being an amorphous squad and become individuals, each with their own story. Aided by subtle sound desigh and a skillfully deployed score, the result is wholly immersive. There’s something of August Sander’s wartime photography and even echoes of Rembrandt portraiture in the way she lights her subjects. There are a few atmospheric wide shots and the occasional aerial drone captures the deadly beauty of the beach (the historic location) but mainly Knudsen keeps us focused on the boys’ and their sergeant’s faces. She uses mainly hand-held camerawork to portray not only the nerve-racking process of finding the landmines but also the evolving relationships between the POWs, a local mother and child, and their sergeant. The film is beautifully shot by Camilla Hjelm Knudsen in desaturated colour. His initial treatment of the young POWs is brutal – as is his exasperation with his superiors who have sent exhausted, malnourished youths to perform such a difficult task. His loathing for the Germans who had occupied his country is palpable. He now has the task of overseeing 14 German teenagers who must crawl on their bellies, inch by inch, over the beach at Skallingen in search of sand-smothered bombs. Roland Møller plays a Danish sergeant who has spent the war fighting with the British (he still wears Parachute regiment uniform). Many of these POWS were schoolboys who had been conscripted in the final year of the war when the Nazis were desperate for soldiers. Danish director Martin Zandvliet brilliantly explores a little-known episode in 1945 when more than 2,000 German POWs were forced to clear almost two million land mines that had been buried on the beaches of the west coast of Denmark in anticipation of an Allied invasion.
