Mads Mikkelsen and Dogme Films
The Dogme movement was started in 1995 by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. The idea behind the rule set was to make the film directors focus more on story telling and acting rather than special effects. Many danish actors of that period of time in danish film have acted in dogme movies and in my opinion it has made them very strong in their acting abilities. Mads Mikkelsen was one of those actors, he starred in 1995 dogme movie Open Hearts. He has brought the focus on strong acting into all of the movies he has done since making him one of those rare actors who can add meaning to a fictional character just with the way he plays it without relying on anything but himself(and in some cases his co-stars).
