Bille August is a photographer-turned-director whose penchant for weaving deeply personal stories eventually gave way to adapting seemingly impenetrable novels into moderately successful features.
August's career behind the camera seemed to be reaching a high point, and in 1987, he crafted the film that many consider to be his masterpiece, Pelle the Conqueror.
Though August ventured outside of his comfort zone to direct episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, he soon returned to the sort of human drama that defined his early career with the release of A Song for Martin in 2001.

This is why Yglesias and August have to resort to having Jean Valjean strike the Bishop and to having the Bishop tantalize Jean Valjean before releasing him.
The boy is only an opportunity for Yglesias and August to jerk a tear from us by cranking up the music, by getting all the other characters yelling to him to save himself, and by showing us the senseless death of a child.
Bille August writes, "It is not about good and evil, it is about two human beings who have completely different points of view on life." But he and Yglesias don't really seem to understand Javert at all.

As it is, August's direction combined with Ann Biderman's screenplay give us a pretty acceptable screen version of this thriller.
Julia Ormond in the role of Smilla, Gabriel Byrne as the mechanic, and the great Vanessa Redgrave in a small but important (more so in the novel) role as Elsa Lubing (a source of crucial information for Smilla) - all do fine jobs.
