“The world is a horrible place. But we need to believe it’s not so.” Mubi has revealed the official trailer for a striking, unsettling gothic tale called The Girl with the Needle, made by acclaimed Danish filmmaker Magnus von Horn (The Here After, Sweat). This initially premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year in the Main Competition section, and it also showed up at Karlovy Vary, TIFF, Vancouver, Chicago, Montclair, and Beyond Fest. The B&W thriller is set in the depths of Copenhagen in 1919. A young worker finds herself unemployed and pregnant. She meets Dagmar, who runs an underground adoption agency. A strong connection grows but her world shatters when she stumbles on the shocking truth behind her work. Inspired by a true story, which is even scarier to realize. The film features an extraordinarily haunting score by Frederikke Hoffmeier (aka Puce Mary), with cinematography by Michael Dymek. It has been on my mind ever since that Cannes premiere many months ago – I’ve been curious about revisiting it because it is so freaky and so beautifully shot. Starring Vic Carmen Sonne and Trine Dyrholm, with Besir Zeciri, Ava Knox Martin, & Joachim Fjelstrup. What a film! A must see for cinephiles anywhere & everywhere. // Continue Reading ›
