Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Blücher sinking in 1940 was Norway's 9/11 moment — using it as thriller backdrop was controversial. Director Tuhus faced criticism for trivializing national trauma.
Helge Jordal performed many dives himself despite limited training. The production couldn't afford professional diving doubles for every shot, making his panic alarmingly authentic.
