Hvide Sande
White Sands is the name of a small Danish coastal town, thriving on fishing and tourism, that provides the setting for this eight-episode crime drama, featuring an attractive, mismatched pair of cops going undercover to solve the year-old murder of a German tourist. Marie Bach Hansen plays Helene, the Danish half of the team; her surly imported partner, Thomas, is played by Carsten Bjornlund.
Assigned to play a young married couple to endear themselves with the tight-lipped locals is especially difficult for both. Helene just finished a long deep undercover assignment in which she grew too emotionally attached to the thug she had to seduce. In the first scene, he’d bought her act so completely that he was starting to propose at a romantic dinner when she summoned the troops to bust him at the restaurant. Rejection to the max, leaving him lusting for payback, and her...

The Last Client is the type of movie that makes me love Frightfest. Would most people call it a horror movie? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t fit perfectly at the genre film festival. It’s dark and creepy, as well as featuring some pretty gruesome injuries, while not feeling like your typical horror movie means that it sticks out from the pack a little bit at Frightfest.
Susanne Hartmann (played by Signe Egholm Olsen) is a top psychologist who has recently been told by police that a quote from one of her books was discovered at a crime scene. Soon after that she is visited by a slightly peculiar man at her work asking for an immediate therapy session. It is...

The Danish eight-part series, commissioned by pubcaster TV2, is set in the titular seaside community. Last week, production on a new Danish eight-part crime series, entitled White Sands, wrapped. The project is directed by Frederiksberg-born helmer Tilde Harkamp, who recently worked on Hunting Season (2019), a comedy starring Mille Dinesen, Lærke Winther and Stephania Potalivo in the lead roles. White Sands is based on a screenplay penned by writing duo Anders Rønnow Klarlund and Jacob Weinreich, best known as Aj Kazinski, who have lived in the Danish seaside community of Hvide Sande (“White Sands” in English), where the story is set. In detail, the series follows German detective Thomas (played by Carsten Bjørnlund) and Danish cop Helene (Marie Bach Hansen), who are both in the doldrums after turning their backs on love. Assigned to work together on a crime investigation in the titular picture-perfect but tight-knit seaside community, they are...

When most folks think about Danish cinema, they think Lars Von Trier. He and his Dogma 95 cohorts dominated the scene in the 90s and into the current decade. Europa (Zentropa), Breaking The Waves and Dancer In The Dark all garnered critical acclaim and Lars Von Trier became the darlings of the international film festival circuit. Below the surface of this high-concept, somewhat cerebral identity of Danish cinema, there was also another scene developing below the radar of arthouse critics, the often overlooked world of genre film that we so wholeheartedly love here at Fantastic Fest.
