Mads Brügger has a nag for getting us, as viewers, feeling immersed in his documentaries. You literally sit at the edge of your seat.
His "victims" in them, often seem clown-like and involuntary comedians as Mads Brügger slowly but steadily spins his web around a sometimes pre-defined narrative.
In the case of "The Mole", Mads Brügger and his two enormously brave, key accomplices, did not have a story from the outset, but instead saw the narrative develop over the span of an incredible 10 years!
What patience from Mads Brügger!
What courage from Ulrich Larsen, a young pensioner that did something very few of us will ever get to do; Create a historic legacy. His wife will surely forgive him (see the end)!
And what incredible forgiveness for all past sins we feel from watching Mr. James (an ex-French Foreign Legionary and convicted cocain-dealer to the rich and famous). He's a damn, perfect fit for the role as Mr. James!
As of a few days after release, already the UN have asked all three to bear witness before UN Security Council. What higher achievement could you ask for?
