Copenhagen 1944. While the Danish population hopes for a swift end to the war, freedom fighters Bent Faurschou-Hviid, a.k.a. Flame and Jørgen Haagen Schmith, a.k.a. Citron, secretly put their lives at stake fighting for the Holger Danske resistance group. The fearless and uncompromising Flame is a confirmed anti-fascist and dreams of the day when the group will assemble and openly launch an armed counterattack at the occupying power. The more sensitive f! amily man, Citron, used to work primarily as a driver for Flam! e, but n ow finds himself becoming more deeply involved in the group s work. When their immediate superior, Aksel Winther, orders them into action against two German Abwehr officers, events start to get out of hand. Flame engages in conversation with the talented and intelligent Colonel Gilbert and for first time, Flame calls the soundness of the order he is about to execute into question...Something feels terribly wrong. Furthermore, when suspicion turns to his girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious courier, Ketty, Flame begins to spot the outline of a different and mostly hidden agenda. Can Ketty be trusted? Can Winther? And who really works for whom? While their doubts gnaw at them, Flame and Citron come to feel that they are on shaky ground. Desperate, disillusioned and with a sense of having been betrayed by their superiors, they decide only to trust each other and concentrate their efforts on getting to the much hated and feared chief of the Gestapo, Hoffmann. The film is bas! ed on actual events and eyewitness accounts from some of the people who experienced Bent Faurschou-Hviid and Jørgen Haagen Schmith at very close range.Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.

EN (2.35 :1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: One film that doesn't soften the truth about resistance movements with remorse or false sentiment is Jean-Pierre Melville's "Army of Shadows," a 1969 masterpiece based on his experiences in the French underground. The Danish director Ole Christian Madsen looks to have borrowed some Melvillian stylistic flourishes to make "Flame & Citron," a fictionalized film, based on fact, about two Danish Resistance fighters. You can see the Melville touch in the impenetrable shadows that spill across Mr. Madsen's carefully composed mise-en-scène and in the fedoras and trench coats worn by his two heroes (Thure Lindhardt as Flame, and Mads Mikkelsen as Citron). What it doesn't share, though, is the lack of pity that makes "Army of Shadows" so unbearably sad, its almost repellent hardness of heart. What "Flame & Citron" has instead are decent men taking down Nazis (a! lways a crowd pleaser) and some appealing actors - notably Mr. Lindhardt, Mr. Mikkelsen and Christian Berkel as the head of the Copenhagen Gestapo - ensnared in an increasingly tangled narrative line. Written by Mr. Madsen and Lars K. Andersen, the film tracks Flame and Citron as they do in Nazis and collaborators - for the most part, Flame pulls the trigger, Citron spins the getaway wheel - and their relationships with prickly colleagues and difficult intimates. Citron, his face drenched in sweat, proves an unreliable family man, while the red-haired Flame casts an eye at a femme, Ketty (Stine Stengade), w...Flammen & Citronen ( Flammen og citronen ) ( Flame and Citron )Enhance your kitchen and your table with this piece that combines classic design and faultless performance.
