So occupied, that she completely loses himself and his political beliefs, and it has been exciting to delve into the transformation for the actress.
– I have been happy to do this series, because the development in the role has been so exciting and very different than a politikerrolle otherwise, says Karen-Lise Mynster.
– Politikerroller can be really boring and how some talking suit, and it is a little pity, for they are also people, and it is exciting to see afklædningen of a high trusted member of the Danish society, when something happens they cannot control, she says.
Karen-Lise Mynster began his career more than 40 years ago and have both played with in “Matador,” “Crumbs,” and countless films.
Yet she can feel that it is very much in the theatre, she feels comfortable when she is working. Therefore, has a role in the tv-series has not just been exciting, but also demanding.
– I think, once again, I have been reminded of how difficult it is to make tv. I think never, I will keep up with that seem, she says.
– In the theatre you have a long probation period, where you are allowed to model his role, and try the one and the other. It is not in the same way, a tv-set. There is the here and now, it happens, she explains.
at the same time have the role of also been a tour de force of emotions, where the Karen-Lise Mynster really have been allowed to challenge themselves.
– There are really many scenes in the series, I have been really happy to make. The emotional outbursts, as Elisabeth, is always difficult to play, because you really need to hit them, says Karen-Lise Mynster, if the wife in the series is played by Lotte Andersen.
– But also the scenes after the attacks, which had become more and more crazy, was exciting. For how can one possibly balance in such a situation, where you as the justice minister has lost his beloved, but at the same time must keep a cool head, ask Karen-Lise Mynster rhetorical.
the Attack on the restaurant Pigs, which claimed the lives of 19 people, was in the show’s fifth section rolled out over ten minutes, where you came quite close to the dead and mutilated bodies.
It was very violent for some viewers, even if the DR had taken their precautions by sending the section later in the evening than usual.
Karen-Lise Mynster, however, believes that it was a correct grip to make the attack more intense and realistic.
– If you must make such a scene, so it must be brutal and lidelsesfuld and not to wear. I like to go walk the plank. Otherwise it is better to leave be to fix it. But there will always be a thousand opinions about it, says the actress, who is glad that the authors behind the series, Dorthe W. Høgh and Ida Maria Rydén, have ventured to take some non-traditional options.
To one in the series, for example, has come close on an older, a female politician in a homosexual marriage, it seems she also is refreshing.
– to let the minister of justice to be a lesbian and married to a woman, I think, is really nice, says the actress.
– There are, thankfully, many series, there is about homosexuality, but it is usually young, beautiful people. What’s cool here is that it is some slightly older women who have had a very strong loving relationship, as one can notice, is very flowery and passionate, she says.
She can feel, to work with the series has affected her.
– I think that all of the roles, you have been happy and deeply immersed himself in, puts some clues, she says.
But she also hopes that viewers take something from the series.
– I hope it’s that spot down in the various human history, as the series has given, can provide a sense of unity and empathy for each other, she says.
