USA Premiere

THE KISS

(Kysset)

(Historical Drama, 2022, USA Premiere. Directed by Bille August.  Denmark, 116-minutes – In Danish with English subtitles)

Oscar-winning director August (Pelle The Conqueror) adapts Stefan Zweig's best-selling novel Beware of Pity as THE KISS. In 1913 Denmark, as World War I is brewing, Anton (Esben Smed), an aristocratic but penniless cavalry officer helps Baron Lovenskjold (Lars Mikkelsen) out of a jam and earns a place as a favored guest at his castle.  Attracted to the baron's vivacious niece but showering solicitous attention on Edith, his beautiful wheelchair-bound daughter, Anton is soon caught in a trap of his own when the grateful young heiress mistakes kindness for love.  Demonstrating his signature talent for historical drama, August makes superb use of authentic Danish locations including the Ravnholt Estate and Lykkesholm Castle. Co-starring David Dencik and Clara Rosager.
