Selected Filmography - Ole Bornedal: Nattevagten, 1994; Charlot og Charlotte, 1996; Nightwatch, 1998.
"Once you've followed the sound of the nighttime bell, you can never go back again..." Talented, ambitious, upright, a perfect family man and father – Niels, the prospective mayor leads a life without blemish. But then, in one unfortunate moment of moral turpitude, his whole world starts to spin out of control, irretrievably headed for a morass of lies, brutality and finally murder. "Nightwatch" director Ole Bornedal – probably the only one to have ever made a Hollywood remake of his own blockbuster hit – turned this modern tragedy into a breathtaking thriller. Just more evidence of the creativity of Denmark's cinematic community today. The music was written by Marco Beltrami ("Mimic", "Scream").
