Der Dänemark Krimi – Rauhnächte

During the pagan Rauhnächte, unbridled revelry reigns in the former Viking town of Ribe. Even at the police station, where conscientious patrol officer Ida Sörensen is helping out on the night shift, chaos reigns. At this moment, no one is thinking about the sadistic serial killer who kidnaps people and leaves them to starve in the forest.

Directed by Christian Theede, Der Dänemark Krimi – Rauhnächte leans on a strong ensemble — Marlene Morreis, Nicki von Tempelhoff, Janek Rieke — 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 2021.
