I am less complicated than anyone I know. My interest and instincts, I am afraid, are strictly normal, but I have always had, even as a child, a fantastical absorption into getting into people’s character - in trying to unmask them and their motives. This, I suppose is what has interested me so much in playing pathological roles, but has not, I want to say emphatically, circumscribed my ambitions, for I want to play all kinds of parts. I don’t care whether it is tragedy or comedy if it is authentic portrayal of life. - Peter Lorre

ENDEAVOUR REWATCH season one, episode four: Rocket

When I ask Vinterberg to name his favourite Mikkelsen performance outside of their work together, he settles on Open Hearts, in which the actor plays a married doctor drifting into infidelity. “He blew me away in that,” he says. “He was so naked and honest.” The film contains some of his most complex work, as he reveals in granular detail not only his character’s creeping disappointment in himself for betraying his family but his continuing helplessness in the face of his own desires, no matter how pathetic they make him appear. “He has a humanity and a sincerity in that part,” says Bier. “But he’s also very sexy and masculine, which makes for an unusual cocktail. And yet he has no vanity. Another actor might have tried to make the character appear better than he is, but he embraces all the complications.” [x]
