Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne, who have two young sons, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father, Claus. Christian's mother recently lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy.

IMDB

IN A BETTER WORLD sets out to explore the limitations we encounter in trying to control our society as well as our personal lives.
It asks whether our own "advanced" culture is the model for a better world, or whether the same disarray found in lawlessness is lurking beneath the surface of our civilization.
Are we immune to chaos, or obliviously teetering on the verge of disorder?
Susanne Bier

Saw this in Toronto and it remained with me for days afterward. Shattering filmmaking! The size and elegance of a Hollywood big budget, with the honesty and challenge of an indy. The performances, especially those of the two boys, are riveting, but I was also impressed with the deep focus photography, the haunting score. Went to see this because I had so enjoyed After the Wedding - but feel this is even better. Only the ending conflict resolution is, perhaps, a little too easy– but not unearned. And oh boy, was I grateful for it. I want to see this with my son, because I want him to experience the moral and emotional snake pit Bier and her screenwriter toss us into: every guy –no matter what age– will get it, and none of us will like it very much. To me, Bier speaks about what it SHOULD mean to be a man. Is vengeance built into our genes? I hope not.

A good movie is a good movie. But I seldom have seen such a fantastic movie from Scandinavia. The photo, the locations, the casting, the music, the acting, a strong story and Susanne Biers touch of directing.
I was really glad to see Mikael Persbrandt in this kind of roll, hoping to see more of this… The two young boys, playing the main characters, wow! We have not seen the last of this young men!
A strong story on many levels, a beautiful sadness from the Nordic country's, with a high recognize level for most people…
You really need to see this film, one of the best ones I have seen in years.
I wouldn't be surprised if this movie wins a ton of awards.
Susanne Bier, you have made a lot of good films before this one, but for this one I really salute you.
Thank You!!

About director Susanne Bier:
Susanne Bier is one of the most prominent Danish film directors working today. Bier's Oscar nominated AFTER THE WEDDING (2006) and the US-produced THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE (2007) , starring Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro, were both hits at the domestic box office. Her feature film debut, the Swedish-Danish co-production FREUD LEAVING HOME (1990) was the recipient of international plaudits, as was her Danish-Swedish-Portuguese FAMILY MATTERS (1993). Her next Swedish film LIKE IT NEVER WAS BEFORE (1995) was the recipient of the Critic's Award at Montreal. Following her Danish feature THE ONE AND ONLY (1999) ), a critics' favorite, and bringing in nearly a million admissions in Denmark alone, her reputation as an established filmmaker excelled. Back in Sweden, Bier directed the tearjerker ONCE IN A LIFETIME (2000) and two box office hits followed: the Dogme film OPEN HEARTS (2002) , selected for San Sebastian, Sundance, and Toronto where it received Special Mention; and BROTHERS (2004) , recipient of the Audience Award at Sundance and Best Acting awards at San Sebastian.
