As World War II comes to an end, a group of German POWs—boys rather than men—are captured by the Danish army and forced to engage in a deadly task: to defuse and clear land mines from the Danish coastline. With little or no training, the boys soon discover that the war is far from over.
A tightly-wound drama from Danish filmmaker Martin Zandvliet, Land of Mine unearths a little-known chapter in postwar history. As with The Hurt Locker, there’s inherent suspense to be eked from a landscape littered with unexploded mines, and Zandvliet’s taut direction has its finger on the trigger.
