Festival cause célèbre Ole Christian Madsen -- the director of critically championed prior efforts including Kira's Reason (2001) and Prague (2006) -- turns away from the domestic drama that characterized his earlier filmography with this unusual period thriller, adapted from historical events. Thure Lindhardt and Mads Mikkelsen star, respectively, as Flame and Citron. As two members of the anti-Nazi Danish resistance during the Second World War, their activities predominantly consist of hunting down and rubbing out Denmark's most prominent Nazi collaborators, and thus furthering the way for the Allied cause. Although Madsen opts for conventional subject matter here, and even a traditional perspective given his film's anti-Nazi stance, his deglamorized presentation retains a certain uniqueness, with the two main characters presented not as conventional heroes, but thoroughly desperate characters from the dregs of society with nothing left to lose except for their own lives -- and sociopaths prone to the most sadistic acts of ultraviolence against the enemy. Citron fares worst, as an utterly irredeemable alcoholic and drug addict, crumbling beneath the weight of a miserable, rotten marriage and a less-than-glowing relationship with his young daughter. In touting the film, Madsen openly cited Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows (1969) as one of his key influences. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

A mother and daughter clash over their conflicting views on intimacy and communication in this unusual independent drama from filmmaker Linda Wendel. Sally (Mille Hoffmeyer Lehfeldt) is a young woman who earns her living by appearing on an adult webcam service, where she performs sexual acts while an audience watches on the internet. Sally's career as a cyberspace sex worker stems from her negative feelings towards her mother Janne (Karen-Lise Mynster), a free spirited woman whose embrace of free love alienated Sally as a child. Looking for revenge against her mom, Sally returns home for a visit and meets Janne's latest lover, Lennart (Jesper Christensen). Sally hopes to hurt her mother by luring Lennart into bed, leading to an ugly confrontation. As its title suggests, One Shot was filmed in one continuous, unedited 78-minute take; it was one of two films shot in this manner that was screened at the 2008 Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival, along with Josh Melin's Preludium. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
