Since it is based on the true story of the K-141 Kursk submarine disaster, we already know the end of the story. So it was a true challenge for director Thomas Vinterberg (known for Jagten, Festen,...) to take a special approach for his movie.
He made the clear choice to focus on the emotion and the human side of this tragedy, rather than on the political side.
The result is a strong movie which succeeds in dragging you into the submarine itself and it's victims (and wifes). It's no coincidence that the aspect ratio shifts to wide during the whole submarine sequence and back to narrow (16:9) at the beginning and conclusion of the story.
Or like the director himself said at the moviepremière in Ghent, Belgium: "Well ... you should see it"
