Professional Reviews

| : |
(06/05/1998, p.C10, Kevin Thomas): "...A work of style and irony with a strong sense of mood and atmosphere It's virtually flawless as it builds inexorably to a finish that is as impossible to predict as it is satisfying..." |

| Details: |
Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard (BREAKING THE WAVES, GOOD WILL HUNTING) gives a compelling performance as Jonas Engstrom, an exiled Swedish city detective working in Norway who travels to the small coastal town of Tromso in order to investigate the murder of a teenage girl. When he makes a fatal mistake in the investigation, however, his own conscience, coupled with the insomnia caused by the 24-hour summer sunlight of northernmost Norway, sets Engstrom on the path to insanity. Director Erik Skjoldbjaerg creates palpable tension in this strong, subtle film. |
