A few reviews . . (film or TV) — Page 175

The Keeper Of Lost Causes - 2013 - 7/10
AKA - Kvinden i buret (The woman in the cage)

Mørck doesn’t wait for backup, and he and crew are ambushed.
He survives and is demoted to the basement, sorting and marking cold cases as closed.
Department Q is a dead end, although Mørck is assigned a motivated assistant, Assad.
One case surfaces, a young politico who supposedly committed suicide on a ferry.
Very much a hard core procedural, as the men interview, dig, unearth and irritate.
Taut thriller, followed by two films and a copy-cat TV series.

Ward - 1973 - 6/10
AKA - Štićenik

Young man Mihael, on the run in a bleak countryside, seeks refuge in an asylum.
Steadily pursuing is a man in a black cape.
Mihael begs for, and is granted, shelter, where his paranoia and violence escalates.
The mysterious hunter could be a guardian, could be Death.
Yugoslavian film mixes supernatural hints in obscured mystery.
