Christina Rosendahl's Vores Mand i Amerika, or The Good Traitor as it has been dubbed internationally, is probably the best Danish World War II film of 2020. Now, granted, that isn't saying much since I wasn't a big fan of Anders Refn's De Forbandede År, but what I really dug about this film was the characterization of the main character and Ulrich Thomsen's performance as the historic Danish ambassador to the United States, Henrik Kauffmann.

Kauffmann comes across as a complicated idealist who may have been a heroic traitor but who was also someone willing to gamble, among other things, his life and his marriage. It doesn't look like any other Danish WW2 film that I have seen, and I also thought the sound work was commendable. Ultimately, I don't think it is as engaging as Rosendahl's previous film, The Idealist, was, but Thomsen's performance helps to make it one of the more interesting Danish films this year.
