“Kim” (2009) – Review #12

A beautiful film about the Danish member of the resistance during World War II, Kim Malthe-Bruun. The film is remarkable in that it portrays a lover, more than a fighter. In Denmark Kim is relatively well-known as his letters have been studied in school since the war. His letters and diary entries are full or wisdom, love and poetry and in the context of the war, it becomes quite powerful.

The director was present at the screening and made some very interesting remarks about narrator voice. He instructed his actor be completely devoid of emotion, “as if he were reading a newspaper”.
