Nils Malmros (born 1944), a Danish film director and screenwriter, is considered a leading auteur of realism in Danish cinema. Malmros is noted for his detailed focus on the common growing pains of adolescence and the loss of innocence, which he draws from his childhood experiences growing up in Århus, Denmark. His most notable films form a trilogy about schoolchildren in 1950s Århus: Lars-Ole 5c, Boys and Tree of Knowledge. The latter film, 1981's Tree of Knowledge (Kundskabens træ), is one of ten films listed in Denmark's cultural canon by the Danish Ministry of Culture.

Malmros, self-educated as a filmmaker, is formally trained as a surgeon. In his film Facing the Truth (At kende sandheden), he performed all of the film's brain surgery sequences himself. Malmros is a 4-time recipient of the Bodil Award for Best Danish Film and a 3-time recipient of the Robert Award for Danish Film of the Year.

Biography

Richard Malmros (1905–2000), le père de Nils Malmros, était professeur de neurochirurgie à l'université d'Aarhus.
Nils Malmros est connu pour son regard sur les douleurs grandissantes de l'adolescence et sur la perte de l'innocence, dont il puise dans les expériences de son enfance passée à Aarhus, au Danemark.

Ses films les plus notables sont ceux de sa trilogie traitant des écoliers d'Aarhus dans les années 1950, Lars-Ole 5c, Garçons et Arbre de la connaissance (Kundskabens Træ, 1981). Ce dernier film est l'un des dix films figurant au Canon de la culture danoise.

Malmros, autodidacte en tant que cinéaste, a reçu une formation de chirurgien. Dans son film Facing the Truth (A Kende sandheden), il effectue lui-même l'ensemble des séquences de la chirurgie du cerveau.

Malmros a reçu quatre fois le prix Bodil du meilleur film danois et est récipiendaire de trois Prix Robert du film danois de l'année.
