This week in movies you (probably) missed: Beware of last-minute wedding guests. Or: Hannibal Lecter plays a do-gooder.

Not really. But I’m so obsessed with NBC’s “Hannibal” (and, if you enjoy David Lynch-esque imagery, fine food and/or the grotesque, you should be, too) that I’ve practically forgotten Anthony Hopkins. I can’t look at Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen (pictured) without thinking of him making sorbet out of somebody’s spleen, and being so very civil and charming about it.

Because he’s so memorable on the show, I decided to explore Mikkelsen’s filmography, which is plentiful on Netflix Instant. I saw a trailer for the Danish film After the Wedding at the Palace 9 back in 2007; the Oscar-nominated drama played for about a week there, if I remember correctly. So there’s a good chance you missed it.

What You Missed: Mikkelsen plays Jacob, who runs an orphanage for street kids in India. To secure a huge donation from a Danish businessman, he must return to his homeland for an interview — which he does with reluctance, leaving behind an orphan whom he treats like a son.
