THE THEFT to order of a blue bicycle sets a chain of random events in motion which brings together a group of eclectic and damaged people, forced to confront their demons in this deliciously dark yet humorous Danish revenge thriller. Are these incidents merely a series of coincidences or fate and an act of God?
Teaming up with writer and director Anders Thomas Jensen for the fifth time, a virtually unrecognisable Mads Mikkelsen shows what a formidable leading man he is as Markus, a military guy who returns home to his teenage daughter Mathilde (Andrea Heick Gadeberg) when his wife dies in a tragic train accident.
