Anders Thomas Jensen addresses the big questions such as the meaning of life and our search for coherence in his comedy 'Riders of Justice', which also draws on his usual ensemble of colourful outsiders. Watch our interview with the director who premiered his fifth feature film in November 2020. International premiere at Rotterdam Film Festival 2021.
'Riders of Justice' with Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas centres on the deployed military man Markus who has to go home to his teenage daughter, Mathilde, when his wife dies in a tragic train accident. It seems to be plain bad luck - until the mathematics geek Otto shows up with his two eccentric colleagues, Lennart and Emmenthaler. Otto was also a passenger on the wrecked train. He is convinced someone must have been behind it. As the clues pile up, it becomes clear to Markus that his wife became a random casualty of what looks like a carefully orchestrated assassination.
The film received outstanding reviews upon its Danish premiere 19 November 2020. The film was praised for its prolific cast and hailed by many as Anders Thomas Jensen's best feature since his groundbreaking debut 'Flickering Lights' from 2000.
'Riders of Justice' is sold for distribution in a number of countries, including the US.
