You may think that\u00a0you don\u2019t want to be reminded of your worst Christmas\u00a0or other\u00a0family nightmares. But when watching\u00a0The Guest<\/em>,\u00a0Danish director Mads Mengel\u2019s debut feature film, you won\u2019t be able to look away. Trust me! It\u2019s a bit like stopping to catch a glimpse of the site of a traffic accident,\u00a0just\u00a0much more intriguing! And you will likely find yourself switching allegiance and changing your views on most of its characters more than once or twice.<\/p>\n

The ensemble that brings to life The Guest<\/em> (G\u00e6sten<\/em>), which world premieres on Sunday, July 5 in the main competition program of the\u00a060th edition\u00a0of the\u00a0Karlovy Vary\u00a0International\u00a0Film Festival\u00a0(KVIFF), reads like a who\u2019s who of Danish acting. Trine Dyrholm (The Girl With the Needle<\/em>,\u00a0Poison<\/em>) is Vibeke, the \u201cguest\u201d mentioned in the movie\u2019s title. There\u2019s just one problem:\u00a0the estranged mother is\u00a0not really invited to the baptism of the baby of her son Karl, portrayed by Simon Bennebjerg (The Pact<\/em>,\u00a0Promised Land<\/em>)\u00a0and his partner Emilie (Mette Klakstein). The celebration, taking place in a seaside resort where\u00a0they plan to\u00a0unveil\u00a0their child\u2019s name to\u00a0the\u00a0family, is supposed to be fun after all. And Karl, unlike his sister Rikke, played by Josephine Park (The Nurse<\/em>,\u00a0Oxen<\/em>), hasn\u2019t had contact with\u00a0Vibeke for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mengel wrote the script for the cinematic exploration of family, love, forgiveness and mental health with his friend and creative partner Christian Bengtson. \u201cFor me, the general theme is about forgiveness and family and looking at your past in a different light,\u201d Mengel tells THR<\/em>. He approaches forgiveness not as duty but as \u201ctransformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cinematographer on the film was\u00a0David Bauer, while editing was handled by\u00a0Louis Emil Ramm Seeberg.\u00a0The film was produced by Victor Cunha\u2019s Monolit Film.\u00a0LevelK is handling sales.<\/p>\n

Mengel, who has directed such drama series as\u00a0My\u00a0Different<\/em>\u00a0Ways<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Supplex, and his creative collaborators will bring The Guest<\/em> to the Czech spa town as the first Danish film picked for Karlovy Vary\u2019s Crystal Globe Competition since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on the tradition of contemporary Nordic cinema, debut filmmaker Mads Mengel tells the intimate story of a family that threatens to fall apart when old wounds are opened up,\u201d teases the KVIFF website. \u201cWhat begins as a close-knit celebration turns into an uncomfortable confrontation with an unresolved past that won\u2019t let the film\u2019s protagonists forget who they really are \u2013 or where they come from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family, or the absence of family, is something everyone knows and has tricky experiences with, which made it appealing to the director. \u201cFamily is complex. Almost everybody feels this way, and when you meet someone who doesn\u2019t and says \u2018it\u2019s easy with my family,\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Enjoy your time in heaven!’\u201d Mengel tells THR<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn one hand, family can be filled with conflict, sorrow, disappointment and expectations, and so on. But it\u2019s also where the heart is, where you belong, a place of comfort in some way, even if it\u2019s not always comfortable,\u201d he adds. \u201cYou still have a longing and an urge to be with your family. And what makes it so interesting and so dynamic is that, whether in a sibling relationship or in a modern-son relation, it can go from a deeply trustworthy and loving place to unsettling and sad within a minute. These two extremes are very close together, and I think that\u2019s what makes family so interesting for films and art.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guest<\/em> does indeed feel like an emotional rollercoaster ride. But its stars say the difficult and tense scenes were easier to shoot given the great chemistry among the cast and the comfortable and creative atmosphere created by director Mengel. \u201cWe had the trust that allows you to explore characters and let them surprise you,\u201d explains Dyrholm. \u201cIt was just a dream team, which made it easier to do intense scenes,\u201d Park similarly tells THR<\/em>. \u201cI couldn\u2019t imagine better playmates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennebjerg echoes that. \u201cDenmark is a small country, and acting is a small world,\u201d he says. \u201cI have played with Trine before, which is a real joy. But I had never played with Josephine before, which was a gigantic pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pulling off all the ambiguity and conflicting emotions can\u2019t have been easy. \u201cIt was very intense, but also very fun,\u201d offers Dyrholm. \u201cWe had a lot of pretty tough scenes, but some of them we had a lot of fun doing together, because the ensemble is just amazing, and the team was such a joy. From the first \u2018action,\u2019 it was just 100 percent no vanity.\u201d <\/p>\n

The cast and director all use the word \u201cnuanced\u201d to describe how they wanted to portray family relationships, trauma and mental health challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all of us, it was very important to make The Guest<\/em> nuanced, not \u2018just\u2019 make a film about mental illness or mental struggles,\u201d Dyrholm tells THR<\/em>. \u201cWe wanted to make a film about family relationships and how complicated it can all be to be in these relations that we are born into. And when you start a new family, as Karl is doing in the film, you start questioning where you come from and what you carry and what kind of values you have and all these issues and topics that are part of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds Mengel: \u201cMental illness in a family or in a close relationship does change things and does put everything we talk about right on the edge and dial it up a notch. But it was important for us that it was not only a film about mental illness. And it was a goal for me and all of us quite early on that there should be no heroes and there should be no villains. You should feel sympathy for all of them at one point or another, and if you change your views on the characters from scene to scene, I think the film is succeeding. We should love and hate them at different times in the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cast, of course, knew that experience of family as heaven, hell and somewhere in between. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s a movie about family dynamics, and it was so much fun to act in, because in your family, you experience the widest range of emotions,\u201d Park offers. \u201cIt\u2019s where you love the most, it\u2019s where you hate the most, it\u2019s where you are the most frustrated. So the arena that you play in itself is so wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative team put much prep into The Guest<\/em> to develop the characters ahead of time to then have the freedom to let them loose on set. \u201cWe had all the discussions about the characters in the script room, so we could just spend the time on set shooting and trying out things,\u201d shares Dyrholm.<\/p>\n

That mix of prep and improvising final things on set also worked well for other cast members. \u201cWe had a couple of meetings with the closest cast, where we spoke about the dynamic between the people and the relations, and some people also shared what they imagined could have happened in the past,\u201d recalls Bennebjerg. \u201cIt did not always align and was vague, but this definitely was something for all of us to remember during filming \u2013 that there are mountains of stories behind these two days we see in the film.\u201d <\/p>\n

In the \u201cextremely generous, extremely safe\u201d space of the set, the actors and their characters surprised each other. For example, Park recalls that \u201cTrine just kept on surprising me. She yelled at me, and then she like went back. And Simon did the same. I felt like we could surprise each other to create those relationships where it isn\u2019t about good and bad, or who\u2019s right and who\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

That contributed to the complexity and layers that all actors laud about The Guest<\/em>. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t shame anyone,\u201d emphasizes Bennebjerg. \u201cIt\u2019s not about, \u2018We all know it\u2019s her fault, or his. It\u2019s a very humane movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

For example, Dyrholm\u2019s Vibeke may have toxic sides, but she \u201cis also the funniest and the freest character,\u201d the actor adds. \u201cSo, she also represents this fun and freedom that Karl has likely suppressed. It\u2019s so nuanced! I really love that and playing those [opposing] emotions of being fascinated by her at the same time as thinking, \u2018Are you going to fuck this up?’\u201d<\/p>\n

All stars also laud the strong script, the sure-footedness of director Mengel and his willingness to listen to the actors and allow them to improvise. \u201cOf course, the most important thing is to have a very good script and a great ensemble, which we had in this case,\u201d Dyrholm tells THR<\/em>. \u201cAnd I\u2019m very, very impressed by the director. It\u2019s his first feature film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennebjerg calls him \u201ca really precise director, and he really loves actors. He\u2019s not afraid of actors and wants to find out what we feel in a scene and then do more takes, where it almost becomes theater.\u201d Adds Park: \u201cAs an actor, you want to feel seen, and Mads is so good at seeing small things and movements, so you feel recognized and on the right track. And he\u2019ll say: \u2018Please keep doing this, and can you maybe make it a bit more or bigger?’\u201d<\/p>\n

The script also drew in the actors. \u201cI really connected with the script the first time I read it,\u201d Bennebjerg tells THR<\/em>. \u201cAnd I was lucky to be let into the script room quite a few times before the final draft. Not that I had many notes, but I could talk with Mads and Christian about it. And then I had meetings with Mads and this day when we went through the entire script. We spent eight hours talking about every scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cast says director Mengel brings together technical and interpersonal skills, with the willingness to give his cast the space to explore. \u201cHe is very skilled with working with actors, and he\u2019s very brave,\u201d explains Dyrhold. \u201cHe knows exactly the story he wants to tell, but he is very interested in the human way of telling it, so all the nuances and all he can get here and now during the shoot from actors, he\u2019s very open to. I just really enjoyed working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each actor approached their character somewhat differently. \u201cI had this thing about Karl being physical,\u201d Bennebjerg shares with THR<\/em>. \u201cI wanted him to be falling and as a result having a lot of movement and expression \u2013 he is making big faces, he is touching his face a lot, being stressed out, rubbing his eyeballs.\u201d<\/p>\n

One small fashion or design choice helped the actor with that. \u201cThe glasses helped me a lot,\u201d Bennebjerg explains. \u201cIn real life, I don\u2019t wear glasses. So having this alien thing in my face allowed me to take them off and put them on again. I wanted to work with that \u2018bridge.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

His goal was to ensure that Karl, and audiences\u2019 opinions of him, could evolve as The Guest<\/em> unfolds. \u201dI wanted to make him calm and controlled in the beginning \u2013 this is a man who can really hold his shit together,\u201d Bennebjerg tells THR<\/em>. \u201cAnd then, the worst thing that can happen to him happens, and he just goes up in flames.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rikke is most like an underdog of the family. Speaking of dogs, Rikke has one, and Park shares that the casting of this dog was a lucky coincidence. \u201cWe were talking about what if she had a dog, because she wants to be loved,\u201d she tells THR<\/em>. \u201cBut what we didn\u2019t know was that this dog that came to set is a kind of dog that doesn\u2019t like humans. But it was such a gift and became a thing. Not even her own dog likes her or wants to be around her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dyrholm focused on exploring the different dimensions of Vibeke. \u201cFor me, it was very important that we understand her and how she struggled back then when she got kids at a very young age, raising them as well as she could,\u201d the star explains. \u201cOn the other hand, she has mental health issues and some challenges that she is fighting against while she just wants to be close to her kids. She\u2019s longing to be part of the family again, and all these issues we can all relate to.\u201d<\/p>\n

That meant making sure to show Vibeke\u2019s light and dark sides. \u201cIt was very important to make her fun and human, so you can see that you want to be close to her,\u201d Dyrholm tells THR<\/em>. \u201cAnd on the other hand, something may be broken or not working in the normal sense. And so we are also questioning what it is to be normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding to the authenticity, grittiness and realness of The Guest <\/em>is the fact that some of the past between the characters gets hinted at but not always spelled out. The story also has no flashbacks. \u201cOur rule was also that two characters weren\u2019t allowed to say something to each other that both characters would obviously know,\u201d explains Mengel. \u201cThey always had to talk to each other like you would do in real life. We didn\u2019t want someone to walk in and say, \u2018Oh, hello, sister, I haven\u2019t seen you in five years, nice to see you again,\u2019 because noone would talk like that in real life. So, what the characters have been through in the past had to come through in the way they were interacting. That made the writing process a bit more difficult, but I think the result is so much more rewarding, and it takes the characters seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative team can\u2019t wait to premiere The Guest<\/em> and bring their team effort to the world. \u201cEverybody always says this, but I loved my team on this project, and the actors are amazing. It was a delight, and what makes this film special is the actors\u2019 performances,\u201d Mengel offers. \u201cThey made me look really good. They are really smart actors and smart human beings, and they were wonderful to work with. So I\u2019m very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Dyrholm tells THR<\/em>: \u201cI was very impressed when I saw the final film by how emotional it is. I feel that it succeeds in being a universal story that we can all relate to. My character has mental issues, some illness that she\u2019s dealing with, but it was very important for the director not to make a film only about that, but also more broadly about families, relations, love, how we cope with love, how we cope with being the new father and parent and how you start reflecting on your own legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative team\u2019s hope is that audiences of The Guest <\/em>will recognize themselves and their loved ones and take something away from the film. For Mengel, one of those things is the importance of forgiveness. \u201cTwo and a half years ago I became a father myself, and it changed my perspective on life, as it does for many people. I started to maybe look at some things in a different way,\u201d he shares with THR<\/em>. \u201cI think, both in family and in many relationships, forgiveness is important, if you can find it in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Park describes her character\u2019s relationship with her brother as evolving along those lines as the film unfolds. \u201cThere is a beautiful journey,\u201d she says. \u201cKarl learns to step in more, because he has not had a relationship with his mother for years, while my character needs to learn to step out of it a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concludes Mengel: \u201cIf you\u2019re not able to forgive, you end up getting locked in a mental prison of the past. Forgiveness is a way to set yourself free and grow in many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
