IN A BETTER WORLD
This is a superb Danish movie, winner of both an Oscar and Golden Globe award for best foreign film, that beautifully dramatizes the complexities of personal, interpersonal, and sociopolitical events, riddled with the best and worst of human behavior. In its subtle weaving together of three cultures and two families, parents and children both explore complicated moral terrain as they experience bullying, prejudice, perversions of power, death, marital transgression, and more. The effort to raise and answer questions takes the plot through twists and turns that ultimately and intelligently resists moral simplicity by examining the consciences of each of the characters, their many layers, and their development (or lack thereof) through experience.
