Movie Comments & Discussion

Philosophos
Land of Mine is a film about the consequences of WW II when German soldiers are detained in Danish territory: they are forced to work to remove mines from the beaches.

It is not a strictly historical film because the coordination of the task belonged to the English soldiers (not to the Danes), but it also portrays the "other side" scenario when German boys (the central theme of the film) were forced to do such work.
With a surprising end being more than fictional, it offers an extremely human approach...

Here's a good indication of a great Danish film!
