Oscar Winner Giveaway: In a Better World

Here is a fantastic giveaway from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. In a Better World, which is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

You could call this a provocative film that explores the difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. In a Better World follows two Danish families and the unusual and dangerous friendship that develops between them.

Bullied at school, Elias is defended by Christian, a boy greatly troubled over his mother’s death. So when the two become involved in an act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, it’s their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy in this 2010 Academy Award and Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Film.

In a Better World is a 2010 Danish drama film directed by Susanne Bier and written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen. Its original Danish title is Hævnen, which means “The Revenge.”
