The punishment described by writer/director Martin Zandvliet in “Land of Mine,” though, is collective. It involved using numerous German soldiers to clear hundreds of thousands of land mines that the Nazis had left buried along the Danish coast, resulting in the deaths of many. Rather curiously, the film itself doesn’t say what its press notes spell out: under the international treaties of day as well as the 1. Geneva Convention, this action—which was ordered by the British but carried out by the Danes—was a war crime.

Every time that Mine threatens to come apart under its own pretensions (which is relatively often), Hammer does something subtle and believable to ground it.

According to Zandvliet, it has never been dealt with adequately in Danish histories or public discussions of the period. Granted, there are large and very obvious reasons why Nazis have been portrayed as the most brutal of human monsters in the popular mythology of the movies. But it was always a simplification that invited correction. In 1. 98. 1, Wolfgang Petersen’s “Das Boot,” about the perils of life aboard a Nazi U- boat, became an international hit in part by humanizing the servicemen whose lives it dramatized. In an early scene, Danish officers explain to them that Denmark’s coast was the most heavily mined in Europe, apparently because Hitler expected the Allied invasion to come there since it was the closest land point to Berlin. More than two million mines were left behind.

How many have seen mines, the boys are asked. Only a few hands go up. So, the Danes provide instruction on this very perilous undertaking. It involves taking a stick and probing the sand till a mine’s metal bulk is detected, then gently removing it from the sand and defusing it by unscrewing and extracting the trigger. Needless to say, one wrong move and life or limb can be sacrificed. When the story proper begins, Sgt. Rasmussen is in charge of 1.

Germans in a makeshift camp near a beach. He tells the boys there are 6. Advertisement. In the tale’s first stage, the Dane treats his charges in a fashion that verges from screaming ferocity into near- sadism. We’re never told the slightest bit about what his particular beef against the Nazis is; we can just assume that as a Dane he has some serious ones. After practically starving the boys and lying to them about one of their number who was injured, however, he begins to soften, to see them as individuals and treat them like actual human beings.

Later still, an incident that he blames them for sends him tilting back toward hostility. These shifts of attitude on Rasmussen’s part can feel a little too abrupt and formulaic in enforcing the dramatic pivots of a standard three- act structure.

Nevertheless, the film remains generally believable and consistently engaging due to the high quality of its execution. As Rasmussen, M. The German boys are very well cast, with young actors Louis Hofmann and Joel Basman especially giving the kind of striking performances that should lead to other films.

Land of Mine,” and the influence is salutary. With its muted colors and naturalistic lighting the film aptly captures the beauty of seaside locales that frame the human struggle at the story’s heart.
