Blind-bought this too last night, as I enjoy Mikkelsen, I think Vinterberg is much better than someone like Von Trier, and there's a possibility we'll get a slipcover from Amazon.

Also the writer-director of A Highjacking co-wrote this. Nice.

very good film, exceptional performance from Mikkelsen. might check out Hannibal now.

Hi. I see that Arrow reissued this in 2017 under the Academy label. Is the disc exactly the same as the 2013 one? Is it still 50i and with no extras? Thanks.

[Naiera]

It’s very likely supposed to be 1080i50.

[Dan8700]

I just checked the Arrow site, though, and it lists all the extras featured on the US disc, plus booklet... so it's definitely not the old UK disc. Hopefully, they re-encoded the movie too. Anyone?

Was it shot at 25fps? IMDB says 24

[Naiera]

While the source may have been 24 fps, they could have mastered it for 25 fps in post. That's the way they did Flame & Citron. Not that the two projects have anything besides Mads in common.

I don't know for certain, but the Danish and the UK releases are 25 fps, so that's what I'd put my money on being correct.

Cool. It's on sale at Zavvi (£9, after a discount code) so I may order a copy. Just don't want to find out later on that it's not meant to be that way.

[Naiera]

I can’t say if the database here is correct, but there seems to be a UK re-release that’s 24 fps

[Jack Priest]

Shot on What says the "distributed frame rate" was 24fps, but who knows really. I don't know why Arrow would put it out at 1080i/50 if it weren't meant to be like that.

It's the re-release that I've ordered. Both from Arrow, so I assumed the most recent one would be correct.

I just checked my copy of the "Arrow Acadamy" newer release and it is 24p, not 50i like the earlier release. Frustrating, not sure which is correct. I was hoping it would actually be 50i like the old disc so I didn't have to worry about it. Lol

The database on this site also has this info

Yeah, but I think a lot of them say 1080p as default as I remember seeing a few that were wrong.

[Jack Priest]

DVD Compare also say 24fps is the "correct speed", but I still can't really find a source.

[Naiera]

I would tweet the director and ask, if he had Twitter account

[Jack Priest]

Haha I had a look for him on twitter too

[Dan8700]

Finally got the new BD. Glad to say it features a totally new, strong encoding and yes, in 1080p. I did some comparison and the old 1080i release clearly shows the terrible interlaced imperfections; now it's alright. Colour space is a bit wrong (lacks something), but that can be easily corrected.

2013 Arrow


2017 Arrow


2013 Magnolia (USA)


Remember to add a bit of contrast and saturation before watching.
Arrow imported all the (actually very brief) extras from the US disc, and even added a nice booklet, which is a plus (even though only the interview with the director really matters, after all).
