Out of The Darkness (De Forbandede År 2) is a Danish film directed by Anders Refn, which explores the various aspects of the occupation of Denmark during World War II. It focuses on the Skov family, a wealthy Danish family deeply divided and confused. The film follows the family as they navigate the various challenges and complexities of the occupation, including collaboration with the Germans, resistance movements, and the impact of the war on Danish society. The film has powerful scenes that are both beautiful and engaging and features excellent performances from the cast, particularly Jesper Christensen and Bodil Jørgensen as the Skov family, and Mads Reuther as the conflicted antihero Aksel. The film also offers a nuanced portrayal of the various aspects of the occupation, including the role of the Danish police as German collaborators, the cynical logic of collaborationist policies, and the important role played by communist resistance fighters. The film is a powerful depiction of the war and its impact on Danish society, and a welcome addition to the growing wave of resistance films in Danish cinema.
