Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Karin Fossum's Inspector Sejer novel, but the film sidelines the detective to focus on the victims—controversial choice.
Rare Norwegian thriller directed by a woman in 2002; Isaksen deliberately rejected the flashy visual style of 'Headhunters'-era Nordic noir for something more suffocating.
