The Killing gets a Camilling: Duchess of Cornwall a hit on Danish crime set
27 March 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Visit to her favourite TV drama was special request for last day of royal couple's Scandinavian tour
Fans of Nordic noir TV hit The Killing may want to look away – now. Not that the Duchess of Cornwall, visiting the set of the Danish thriller on Tuesday, was giving anything away about the new series.
"My lips are sealed," she said after watching part of the third series being filmed at a scrapyard in Lynge, a small town north of Copenhagen.
But as Sofie Gråbøl, who plays taciturn detective Sarah Lund, accompanied the royal guest, one crucial detail did slip. "It is still in the same style – but yes, it's blue," said Gråbøl of her equally famous co-star – the jumper.
The royal visit to the set, on the last day of a week-long Nordic tour by the Prince of Wales and his wife, was at the specific request of the duchess, »

SXSW '12 Review: 'Beast' A Lean & Surreal Portrait Of An Extreme Relationship That Doesn't Quite Go Far Enough
12 March 2012 3:29 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"Beast" is a lean, surreal portrait of a marriage in its extremes from Danish director Christoffer Boe, who's probably still best known for his 2003 feature debut "Reconstruction." The film's focus keeps almost exclusively to Bruno (Nicolas Bro) and Maxine (Marijana Jankovic), a couple whose relationship vacillates between love and hate and a meeting place between the two that approaches the feral. When we first see them, the pair are looking at a beautiful apartment they're considering buying. "Let's take this home and be a family," Bruno proposes. The hope and sweetness of the moment then goes slightly dissonant with unease when Maxine cuts her finger and Bruno sucks at the cut and talks, with all romanticism, about having a part of her inside him.
The next time we see the pair, an unclear amount of time has passed and their marriage is on the rocks. They walk in the snow -- always the snow, »

DVD Review: Rachel Weisz Delivers Oscar-Caliber Work in ‘The Whistleblower’
7 February 2012 9:29 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I have a sneaking suspicion that if The Weinstein Company had acquired this film and released it during the 2011 awards season, Rachel Weisz would currently be an Oscar nominee. After playing an assortment of vulnerable, photogenic damsels throughout her career, Weisz delivers her most potent and compelling work to date in Larysa Kondracki’s fact-based thriller.
Though the actress has won an Oscar before, it was for her rather thankless role in Fernando Meirelles’s downbeat drama, “The Constant Gardener.” “The Whistleblower” functions as a smart follow-up to Alejandro Amenábar’s equally overlooked 2009 gem, “Agora,” in which Weisz played another strong-willed rebel who risked everything in pursuit of the truth. Both Hypatia in “Agora” and Kathryn Bolkovac in “The Whistleblower” are empowering figures with unsettling life stories that hit all too close to home.
DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0
Despite some narrative contrivances and a manipulative third-act twist, Kondracki’s film is »

The 2012 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference and Festival runs March 9–17 in Austin, Texas, and now the full film program lineup has been announced. From a first glance at the list, it's pretty light on horror, but there are a few standouts.
