Copenhagen 1944. While the Danish population hopes for a swift end to the war, freedom fighters Bent Faurschou-Hviid, a.k.a. Flame and Jørgen Haagen Schmith, a.k.a. Citron, secretly put their lives at stake fighting for the Holger Danske resistance group. The fearless and uncompromising Flame is a confirmed anti-fascist and dreams of the day when the group will assemble and openly laun! ch an armed counterattack at the occupying power. The more sen! sitive f amily man, Citron, used to work primarily as a driver for Flame, but now finds himself becoming more deeply involved in the group s work. When their immediate superior, Aksel Winther, orders them into action against two German Abwehr officers, events start to get out of hand. Flame engages in conversation with the talented and intelligent Colonel Gilbert and for first time, Flame calls the soundness of the order he is about to execute into question...Something feels terribly wrong. Furthermore, when suspicion turns to his girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious courier, Ketty, Flame begins to spot the outline of a different and mostly hidden agenda. Can Ketty be trusted? Can Winther? And who really works for whom? While their doubts gnaw at them, Flame and Citron come to feel that they are on shaky ground. Desperate, disillusioned and with a sense of having been betrayed by their superiors, they decide only to trust each other and concentrate their efforts on getting to the! much hated and feared chief of the Gestapo, Hoffmann. The film is based on actual events and eyewitness accounts from some of the people who experienced Bent Faurschou-Hviid and Jørgen Haagen Schmith at very close range.United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player.

The Danish director Ole Christian Madsen looks to have borrowed some Melvillian stylistic flourishes to make "Flame & Citron," a fictionalized film, ! based on fact, about two Danish Resistance fighters. You can s! ee the M elville touch in the impenetrable shadows that spill across Mr. Madsen's carefully composed mise-en-scène and in the fedoras and trench coats worn by his two heroes (Thure Lindhardt as Flame, and Mads Mikkelsen as Citron). What it doesn't share, though, is the lack of pity that makes "Army of Shadows" so unbearably sad, its almost repellent hardness of heart. What "Flame & Citron" has instead are decent men taking down Nazis (always a crowd pleaser) and some appealing actors - notably Mr. Lindhardt, Mr. Mikkelsen and Christian Berkel as the head of the Copenhagen Gestapo - ensnared in an increasingly tangled narrative line. Written by Mr. Madsen and Lars K. Andersen, the film tracks Flame and Citron as they do in Nazis and collaborators - for the most part, Flame pulls the trigger, Citron spins the getaway wheel - and their relationships with prickly colleagues and difficult intimates. Citron, his face drenched in sweat, proves an unreliable family man, while the red-haired! Flame casts an eye at a femme, Ketty (Stine Stengade), w...Flammen & Citronen ( Flammen og citronen ) ( Flame and Citron )Flame Y Citron Flame Y Citron Director: D. Ole Christian Madsen.

The deep ribs separate the fat from the food allowing for healthier cooking. The grills can go on the stove or under the broiler - a rainy day will never prevent you from enjoying your favorite barbeque foods. The ribbed base sears food evenly and gives the characterist! ic char lines. With Le Creuset grills you can serve it with a sizzle. Whether frying, grilling, or saut??ing, the satin black enamel interior on our grills can withstand the rigors of everyday use and offer great flexibility. Best of all, they require no seasoning and will not absorb odors or flavors.By squaring this skillet and flaring its sides, famed French cookware manufacturer Le Creuset offers extra cooking room for steaks, fish, burgers, or any food that benefits from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor imparted by seared grill marks. The raised ribs in the grill's bottom not only provide those marks but also help excess fat and grease drain away from food for lower-calorie cooking.

Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and even heat distribution (no hot spots), foods will cook uniformly in the 10-1/4-inch-square grill. The unit's exterior provides a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its inside offers a! durable black enamel finish (no seasoning required). The gril! l also p rovides a sturdy, integrated handle with an opposite helper handle for secure transport, as well as dual nondrip spouts--one on each side to accommodate left- and right-handed pouring. Even more, the grill works on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough (think French farmhouse kitchen) to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves a patina that builds up with use and aids in the grill's stick resistance. The skillet grill measures approximately 11-3/4 by 16-3/4 by 2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty. --Fred Brack
