Nikolaj Arcel’s “The Promised Land” is aptly titled. Adapted from the novel “The Captain and Ann Barbara” by Ida Jessen, the land itself — the untamed heath of Jutland, the peninsula that makes up the continental portion of Denmark — proves to be both setting and character, as mercurial, tormented and blood-stained as anyone else in this tale.

With Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Arcel’s latest collaboration “The Promised Land” in theaters this week, it seems a good a time as any to take a spin through the distinctive Danish star’s illustrious career, which has moved seamlessly back and forth between his native country and more global Hollywood films, and features longstanding collaborations with many of Denmark’s finest auteurs.

For months, one question has plagued moviegoers: “who is the real Agent Argylle?” It’s a query posed by Samuel L. Jackson in the ubiquitous trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s spy action-comedy “Argylle,” though there are more pressing questions that the trailer presents, like, “who thought a flat-top on Henry Cavill was a good idea?” and, “why are we spelling argyle with two Ls?”

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I ride bikes with my buddies several times a week, going 30 miles or so in two hours. We don’t usually stop, except for an occasional mechanical issue or water break.

When all this is over, when Lily Gladstone no longer has to discuss and dissect and get all dressed up to celebrate "Killers of the Flower Moon," the movie that first came into her life nearly five years ago and has now propelled her into history as the first Native American to earn an Oscar nomination for lead actress, she's going to head back home to her family in suburban Seattle. Gladstone moved in with her parents a few years ago to help take care of her special-needs uncle and her grandmother, who died last summer after battling dementia. Her immediate plan: Pay off her parents' mortgage this year. Next step: Carve out a space for herself nearby.

If you have ever wandered the streets of downtown Spokane during the late hours of the night, you may have noticed that there are not many eateries open. Wyatt Campbell, who was until recently the sous chef at Gander and Ryegrass, has created a company that seeks to remedy the late-night munchies.

Whenever there are random bits of crisped cheese lingering on a baking dish or sheet pan, chances are you’ll find me hovering over it, picking it clean of the irresistibly crunchy pieces. I can never seem to get enough of them, which is why I find this recipe – which provides an entire pan full – so enticing. In it, mounds of grated Parmesan cheese are baked to form crunchy golden disks beneath tender, lightly smashed broccoli florets. The cheese acts as a savory platform for each piece of broccoli, staying a bit pliable where it touches the vegetable, and forming a deep brown, crunchy matrix around it.

I half-joke that my Russian upbringing made me part Husky. I get so giddy when I see fresh snow, I want to stop doing everything – sorry to my work colleagues – and just revel in the magic and serenity of a world blanketed in white. And I want to do it with a steaming cup of hot chocolate in hand.

Dear Annie: I’m newly married and now live in close proximity to my in-laws. We get together frequently. I get along great with my mother-in-law. The problem I have is with my father-in-law. It’s his personal manners and actions. He frequently clears his throat, coughs, snorts in and out. It’s loud. He picks his ears and, yes, his nose. In front of anyone.

Martin Short is shooting down rumors that he’s dating Meryl Streep. The two-time Emmy Award-winning funnyman addressed the speculation that he and his recent “Only Murders in the Building” co-star are a couple.

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to a bonus letters column. We’ll begin with the latest data that show this winter is shaping up to be another “tripledemic.” Influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, are surging throughout the United States, and new cases of COVID-19 are not far behind. Please protect yourselves and the people around you by getting this year’s flu vaccine and the updated COVID shot. It’s not too late for either of these, and there is evidence that getting both at once boosts immune response. For people who are most at risk of RSV, a monoclonal antibody injection is available. And now, onward to your letters.

As he took in a recent screening of a new documentary on the making of “We Are the World,” Lionel Richie found himself — even now, four decades after the all-star charity single was released — gripped by a creeping sense of anxiety.

Dear Annie: My daughter shared your column with me this morning. The letter from the “Anonymous” husband of an alcoholic touched my daughter deeply, and it made me cry pretty hard. My daughter drank near-lethal quantities of alcohol every day for years. Three or four trips to rehab, AA, DUIs, etc. She is now one year sober and lives with me. She says that the following two things have saved her life:
