About Those Who Kill - Shadow of the Past
Detective Katrine Ries Jensen and legal psychiatrist Thomas Schaeffer form a special unit at the Copenhagen Police investigating serial killings. A case from Schaeffer’s past crops up. As a young psychologist, he held back from sending a patient, who was manically drawing the details of a traffic accident, to a secure hospital. Now these bloody scenes resurface, enacted as real killings.
Directed by Birger Larsen, Those Who Kill - Shadow of the Past leans on a strong ensemble — Jakob Cedergren, Laura Bach, Lars Mikkelsen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2012.
