Insomnia
Erik Skjoldbjærg · 1997
A Swedish detective investigating a teenage murder in Arctic Norway accidentally kills his partner, then covers it up. Haunted by insomnia under the midnight sun, he descends into paranoia and self-deception while trying to close the case — and avoid being exposed. Directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg, this 1997 Norwegian thriller is a tightly wound study in moral erosion, anchored by Stellan Skarsgård’s restrained performance and Erling Thurmann-Andersen’s desaturated cinematography.
