Mud, cows, and rubber boots

Frygtelig lykkelig (Terribly happy)

Crit

This is, I believe, the best Coen brothers film I've ever seen that wasn't made by the Coen brothers. Mysteriously guilty Copenhagen cop is temporarily exiled to the boondocks for whatever initially unspecified meltdown he has suffered, and there he find a dangerous woman, her dangerous husband (which of them is more dangerous is hard to say), their spookily beautiful and beautifully spooky daughter, and a bog that is literally and figuratively capable of swallowing all sins. Wonderful.
