The huge success of The Killing on British television may well have made Danish crime stories the new rock'n'roll, but it's still a bit of a mystery that this sluggishly paced and often quite dull thriller from Denmark has got a release in UK cinemas. It is from the Zentropa studios – or, as it says on the poster, "from the producers of Melancholia"; Lars Von Trier fans curious to see it may well be as baffled as anyone else. Actually, it looks more like something Lew Grade, in his 70s pomp, might have greenlit for ATV with a handshake. A mysterious, beautiful woman wakes up in a remote wooded area in France with a wound on her head, and no memory. She stumbles into a small hotel with her rucksack and gets a small room – and it's only when she thinks to look into the rucksack that she realises quite what a scary situation she's in. A lot of the film's action is presented in a long flashback as it suddenly comes back to her what on earth has been going on, and this single, undigested chunk of remembered action robs us of the pleasure of uncovering the truth bit by bit. Well, it could provide some diversion on DVD.
