SUSANNE BIER IS A HELLUVA FILMMAKER


Just finished watching BROTHERS, a film by Susanne Bier (AFTER THE WEDDING, THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE). It's excellent; she's really one of the best storytellers working right now. My full review will be up soon, but it's another deeply dramatic and heartfelt character study that while not being as uplifting as her other films, still is worth seeing. Very tough subject matter at times. Great performances. It will be interesting to see how good the upcoming remake will be.
