Ole Christian "OC" Madsen is from the "Golden Year" of the Danish
Filmschool, including director's like Thomas Vinterberg and Per Fly.
Ole Christian Madsen started out directing television series, but moved
on to his first feature Sinans Wedding in 1997, followed by highly
acclaimed second feature Pizza King (1998) - both films dealt with 2nd
generation emigrant issues, and became the first of their kind
approaching this subject in Denmark. OC moved on to the highly profiled
miniseries "Edderkoppen", a film-noir vision of
post-war Copenhagen in 1949, an elegant romantic gangster-flick. The
seriel is still one of it's kind in Denmark, and became immensely
popular. Award-winning breakthrough arised with "En
Kaerlighedshistorie". Besides taking
home international awards, it swept the national Bodil, and
Robert-awards in 2002. With the adaptation of his good friend Jakob
Ejersbo's Nordkraft, he made his first hit
movie. One year later he wrote and directed Prag. And another
year after came the 2WW resistance drama Flame & Citron. It became the
biggest box-office hit in 10 years - and the most expensive
danish-languaged movie ever. In 2010 "OC" shot his latest film
Superclasico in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It will premiere in Copenhagen
March 2011.
