A standout selection at Halloween Frightfest, Karoline Lyngbye’s Superposition takes a disconcerting science fiction premise and teases it out into a disturbing – and sometimes very funny – psychological drama. There are elements of horror, too, as city couple Stine (Marie Bach Hansen) and Teit (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard) head out into the woods on a journalistic mission to find themselves and end up getting much more than they bargained for. On the opposite side of the lake from their little house, they see another couple who seem to resemble them in every way.
It seems very ambitious for a first feature project, I told Karoline when I met her just before the festival.
“Yeah, I guess it is. It's the way the idea shaped itself, so that was just how it went. We did develop it within a call for fairly low budget films. The low budget part is,...

Is there any job as exhausting as being a parent? Mothers especially are expected to watch their children 100% of the time, and castigated if they don’t, but it’s an impossible thing to do in practice, especially if one is also expected to do one’s share of housework and earn a living. In the absence of a partner who is equally committed, one really needs to be two people.
Five-year-old Nemo (Mihlo Olsen) is a very full-on child, old enough to have developed an independent streak but not yet mature enough to recognise that listening to adults can still be important. When Stine (Marie Bach Hansen) and her husband Teit (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard) decide to move out into the middle of nowhere, his needs don’t seem to have been fully taken into account. It’s not a problem for Teit, who casually assumes that Stine will provide most of the care he.

In the film Superposition, city dwellers Stine (Marie Bach Hansen) and Teit (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard) trade Copenhagen for Sweden. Their young son Nemo (Mihlo Olsen) and their dog Tarzan are in tow. As Stine tries to overcome her writer’s block at their isolated cabin in the woods, Teit conceives a podcast documenting their year-long stay. No matter how far they get away from the big city, the couple cannot escape the problems in their relationship. In due time, Karoline Lyngbye’s first long feature presents another obstacle for the main characters, albeit a more unusual one. This new challenge is scary at first, but it ultimately has healing properties.
After a slow start, the pace picks up once Stine loses sight of Nemo in the woods. The son is quickly found, but now the parents have themselves a reversal of the classic changeling scenario. As the child insists the protagonists are not his parents,...

Following its world premiere at Intl. Film Festival Rotterdam earlier this week, where it continues to play to sold out screenings, Karoline Lyngbye’s “Superposition” is scaring viewers also outside the Netherlands, with TrustNordisk securing deals in Benelux with September Film Rights, in Poland with Mayfly, former Yugoslavia with Cinemania Group, and the Cis territories with Provzglyad – Vesta LLC.
“I am very interested in genre,” Lyngbye tells Variety at the Dutch festival. “Denmark has more of that drama tradition, but recently we have been opening up. I have always looked up to von Trier and Lynch, and I am a huge fan of [Robert Eggers’] ‘The Lighthouse.’ When you mix genre with a character-driven plot, you can get something special.”
In the film – produced by Amalie Lyngbo Quist for Beo Starling Ivs – Stine and Teit decide to leave their comfortable city life. With their young son, they head straight to the Swedish...

Hvide Sande
White Sands is the name of a small Danish coastal town, thriving on fishing and tourism, that provides the setting for this eight-episode crime drama, featuring an attractive, mismatched pair of cops going undercover to solve the year-old murder of a German tourist. Marie Bach Hansen plays Helene, the Danish half of the team; her surly imported partner, Thomas, is played by Carsten Bjornlund.
Assigned to play a young married couple to endear themselves with the tight-lipped locals is especially difficult for both. Helene just finished a long deep undercover assignment in which she grew too emotionally attached to the thug she had to seduce. In the first scene, he’d bought her act so completely that he was starting to propose at a romantic dinner when she summoned the troops to bust him at the restaurant. Rejection to the max, leaving him lusting for payback, and her...

“‘Superposition’ is an intriguing feature with a mystifying story and a thrilling element at its core,” said TrustNordisk managing director Susan Wendt. “We look very much forward to working with upcoming director Karoline Lyngbye and following the project.”
Penned by Lyngbye and Mikkel Bak Sørensen (“Snabba Cash”), the movie revolves around a creative couple and their young son who leave their urban life in Copenhagen and move to an isolated forest in Sweden, hoping to reignite the spark in their relationship.

The Danish eight-part series, commissioned by pubcaster TV2, is set in the titular seaside community. Last week, production on a new Danish eight-part crime series, entitled White Sands, wrapped. The project is directed by Frederiksberg-born helmer Tilde Harkamp, who recently worked on Hunting Season (2019), a comedy starring Mille Dinesen, Lærke Winther and Stephania Potalivo in the lead roles. White Sands is based on a screenplay penned by writing duo Anders Rønnow Klarlund and Jacob Weinreich, best known as Aj Kazinski, who have lived in the Danish seaside community of Hvide Sande (“White Sands” in English), where the story is set. In detail, the series follows German detective Thomas (played by Carsten Bjørnlund) and Danish cop Helene (Marie Bach Hansen), who are both in the doldrums after turning their backs on love. Assigned to work together on a crime investigation in the titular picture-perfect but tight-knit seaside community, they are...

What will the moviegoing public make of a film called “Lyrebird”? Oblique but apt, that title refers to an ostentatious Australian bird capable of mimicking the calls of countless other species — the relevance of which may not be immediately apparent to those intrigued by the true, post-World War II story of a notorious Dutch art dealer accused of selling a priceless cultural treasure to Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Göring.
After being arrested and tried for collaborating with the enemy, Han van Meegeren mounted a most unconventional defense: He claimed that the artwork in question, “The Supper at Emmaus,” was not in fact a Johannes Vermeer masterpiece but a masterful forgery, painted by none other than himself. While the truth is considerably more complicated, van Meegeren’s story reduces neatly to the kind of handsome, upscale night-out offering that still draws sophisticated older audiences to art houses — catnip for those who...
