The best movies to see this month

Five May film releases you should know about

A Hijacking

Why we’re excited...
‘The Killing’, ‘Borgen’ and ‘The Bridge’ have established the reputation of Danish TV as a class act. Now the film invasion continues. ‘A Hijacking’ is written and directed by Tobias Lindholm, a regular writer on ‘Borgen’. He also co-wrote the gripping paedophile witch-hunt drama ‘The Hunt’ with Thomas Vinterberg.

The story follows the fortunes of a cargo ship captured by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean, while at home the shipping company’s CEO is feeling the stress of negotiating their release.

Who stars?
It’s a bit of a reunion of all your favourite Scandi-stars. Søren Malling (Lund’s sidekick in the first series of ‘The Killing’ and TV news director in ‘Borgen’) plays the CEO. Pilou Asbæk (the spin doctor in ‘Borgen’) is the cook on board the ship.

When's it out?

Schoenarts is amazing in 'Rust and Bone' as well, with Marainne Cotillard. By the way he's Belgian, not Dutch, and it not too hard to pronounce if you ignore the spelling - shone (rhymes with bone) arts - shone-arts .
