Movie Description
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.

Editorial Reviews
"...[A] subtly unsettling film....[The] understated, elliptical direction keeps the material dangerous and volatile..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (05/29/1998)

"...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..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (06/05/1998)

"...Skjoldbjaerg makes excellent use of the austere landscapes and oppressive grey light and also elicits an exceptional performance from Skarsgaard..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (05/01/2003)
