Movie - The Promised Land

The Promised Land (2023) [Denmark] (127 mins) 

A historical drama starring Mads Mikkelsen as poor soldier Ludvig Kahlen, who arrives in 1755 on the barren Jutland heath with a single goal: to follow the king's call to cultivate the land and thereby achieve wealth and honor himself. The official submission of Denmark for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 96th Academy Awards in 2024. Mikkelsen is probably the most well-known Danish actor in America; he played the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the critically acclaimed NBC series “Hannibal” from 2013 to 2015.
