Hammarskjöld (2023)
Keep Hammarskjöld's dream alive
28 January 2024 - 6 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
The characteristics from Mikael Persbrandt perfectly add to the Dag Hammarskjöld the director wants us to see. No one can stare with his steelblue eyes as demanding as 'Gunvald' Persbrandt can; every inch a gentleman. At the same time, this eccentric diplomat with his poetry and bow tie knows that playing by the book won't bring him anywhere in his struggle to protect the weak and defenseless. Going his own headstrong way doesn't either, but that's his fate, as it is of international law in general. This biopic deserves therefor the same qualifications as Oppenheimer. The time is now for reassessment, before history swallowes the truth in undisclosed archives and fading memory.
