Millennium

13-year-old Karl and Thomas have been childhood friends but are now drifting apart. Thomas likes Katzy and Katzy likes Karl. The boys have stolen 30,000 kroner because Thomas wants to impress Katzy with an unforgettable party.

Directed by Kristian Sejrbo Lidegaard, Millennium leans on a strong ensemble — Carla Rasmussen, William Rudbeck Lindhardt, Jonathan Werner Juel — 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 drama titles of 2013.
