Birthe Neumann own this movie - she IS Karen Blixen. But the movie as a whole is a bit old fashioned biopic with conventionel camera techniques and too slow paced. It's an ok movie with and interesting theme.

Frequently asked questions

What is The Pact about? Toggle content

Karen Blixen, a renowned author known for her autobiographical novel "Out of Africa," has retreated to her native Denmark after 17 years of adventure and heartbreak in Africa. Now 63, she has reinvented herself as a literary sensation, but lives a solitary life, still haunted by the loss of her farm and the love of her life. When she meets Thorkild Bjørnvig, a talented 30-year-old poet, she makes him an offer: she'll make him a star in the literary world if he agrees to obey her unconditionally, no matter the cost. As their intense friendship deepens, they both must confront their own demons and confront the pact they've made with each other. Will their artistic collaboration be enough to heal their emotional scars?
