This review is from: Manslaughter (DVD)

Manslaughter tells the story of a late middle-age Danish man who is deliriously in love with a woman many, many years his junior. She is a former student who has made the fateful choice of committing herself to a radical politics that transcends her lover's unwillingness to cross the line from discourse to social action. But he does leave his wife, a political act of a sort. Then he puts even more on the line. He loses as he inevitably must. Things get worse. The love story is told within the context of a murder case. It is told with the eye to detail that any narrative preoccupied with obsession should be told. It is bleak but true.
