Open Hearts (Dogma 95)
Susanne Bier / DK, 2002 / 109 min.
30 years ago, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg signed their Dogma 95 manifesto. Open Hearts was one of the films to do justice to the ‘Dogma’ moniker. A soap-like tragicomedy as believable as life itself featuring Mads Mikkelsen.
Joachim and Cæcilie, a young couple from Copenhagen, are about to get married when Joachim is hit by a car. He survives, but proves fully paralysed. The woman who caused the accident, Marie, is consumed by guilt. She calls her husband, hospital doctor Niels, to support the couple. Cæcilie is comforted by Niels (Mads Mikkelsen) who falls hopelessly in love with the young woman.
