I only found out this brilliant film existed because of the Netflix remake and when I did I made the wise choice to watch this one first. I haven't seen the remake yet but I know from bitter experience it won't be as good.
I can only imagine how annoyed I would have been to see the newer version, have the ending revealed to me and only THEN go watch the Danish original, already knowing how it would all resolve.
This is a riveting, taut, intelligent, atmospheric thriller with believable characters, a tight script, and strong emotional impact. The direction, lighting, camerawork, music (minimal) and so forth are all on point from start to finish.
Watch this 85-minute emotional rollercoaster now!
