74 Reviews · View All videos · Photos
A standout selection from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE is a dark fairy tale about one woman's search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world. Both eerie and exquisite, writer-director Magnus von Horn's latest film tracks young factory worker Karoline as she struggles to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen. When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar takes her in to help run an underground adoption agency for unwanted children. The two women form an unexpected bond, until a sudden revelation changes everything. Based on a chilling true story, THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE presents a masterful gothic vision with profound contemporary resonance. Denmark's Best International Feature Film entry to the 97th Academy Awards® also features EFA-nominated performances from Vic Carmen Sonne and Trine Dyrholm, gorgeous cinematography by EO's Michał Dymek, and a spellbinding score by Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary).

Shortly before the end of World War I, Karoline is trying to get by in a gothic-like nightmarish Denmark that seems to be the most hostile place in the world for a woman who is no longer awaiting for her husband’s return from the frontlines; a woman who cannot afford to pay rent; a woman who finds relief in the arms of her boss only to be kicked to the curb later on, ending up homeless, unemployed, and pregnant, a soldier fighting her own “great war” – one every bit as brutal as the one unfolding between the most powerful nations. An encounter with a woman who will aid her in finding a foster family for her baby will be the turning point. With the determined Dagmar by her side, Karoline will discover a family, a mother, a partner and primarily, the female solidarity that will empower her, enabling her to take control of her own life and rise from the ashes of the old world as an independent woman. A visual poem about a woman’s intertemporal place in a world of patriarchy, class disparity, and sexual exploitation, juxtaposes the price of self-determination with the evil that spreads throughout the world in the aftermath of a war steeped in horror, which often turns into a weapon in the hands of the weak.
