Mørke
Murk
Jannik Johansen 2005 Denmark
When his brain-damaged sister commits suicide on her wedding night, a journalist suspects the husband; he then finds that he is marrying again, and the bride-to-be is also disabled…
A mystery with which the audience is never in doubt of its conclusion; the killer here, played by Nicolas Bro, has a certain Hitchcockian charm about him, and the sense of a close-knit community unappreciative of outsiders' meddling brings back memories of The Wicker Man. Shot in murky blues, with moments of interest scattered here and there. Recommended as a film with interesting ideas.
