Nikolaj Arcel and Mads Mikkelsen had similar trajectories on the international film scene, both beginning in their native Denmark. Mikkelsen made a name for himself with several Danish masterpieces from the directors Susanne Bier and Nicolas Winding Refn before heading to Hollywood and mastering a kind of intelligent and enigmatic villain (on display in titles like Casino Royale, Hannibal, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny). It’s his Danish films, however, that remain his greatest work, from After the Wedding to The Hunt and Another Round.
