Synopsis
Terribly Happy (Frygtelig lykkelig, 2008) is a Danish noir thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Robert, a Copenhagen cop, is shipped off to a marshy backwater in Southern Jutland after a breakdown. Do well here, and he gets his old beat back.
The town of Skarrild has its own rules. Nobody calls the police; folks settle scores themselves and the new marshal is told to look the other way. Robert can't. He's drawn to a battered woman (Lene Maria Christensen) whose hulking farmer husband (Kim Bodnia) rules the place by fear. Every step deeper pulls him further into the bog — the literal one out past the fields, and the one inside his own head.
Director Henrik Ruben Genz took the top prize at Karlovy Vary, and Denmark sent the film to the Oscars. Bone-dry humor, slow provincial heat, and a last act that rewrites everything you thought you saw. Stream Terribly Happy (2008) online on iFILM.
