Line Arlien-Søborg (born 25 July 1966) is a Danish former actress and film director. In 1984, she received the Bodil and Robert Best Actress awards for the film Skønheden og udyret.
In 1981, Arlien-Søborg first received attention for her role as the conniving schoolgirl, Anne-Mette, in Nils Malmros's coming-of-age drama Tree of Knowledge ( Kundskabens træ). Filming for the role was performed over a two-year period, while Arlien-Søborg was 13 to 15 years old, to realistically show her character's physical and emotional maturation. Two years later, Arlien-Søborg performed the lead in Malmros' 1983 drama Skønheden og udyret ( Beauty and the Beast). Malmos wrote the role of the sexually blossoming 16-year-old Mette specifically for Arlien-Søborg for which she was awarded both the 1984 Bodil and Robert awards for Best Actress. [1]
In 1986 Arlien-Søborg performed in the Danish television miniseries Kaj Munk and she once again performed for Malmros in his 1989 film Århus by Night . After completing an education in literature history, she worked for Denmark's DR Television studio where she wrote and directed the miniseries Derude med snøren. [2] Arlien-Søborg subsequently worked as an assistant director for Malmros on two films, 2002's At kende sandheden ( Facing the Truth) and Kærestesorger (in post-production in 2008).
She dissolved her friendship with Malmros in 2013 following the release of his autobiographical film Sorrow and Joy ( Danish: Sorg og glæde). Arlien-Søborg said that the film's portrayal of a mutual flirtation between her teenage self and Malmros was false; and that she believed Malmros had fictionalized the episode to absolve himself of sexualizing and trying to seduce a child. [3]
Since 2014, Arlien-Søborg has worked as a teacher in Danish Language and Media Studies at a Gymnasium (upper secondary school) in Skanderborg. [4]
Arlien-Søborg lives in Risskov with her husband and their two children. [4]
