The Burning Sea (Nordsjøen) movie review: nightmare (fossil) fuel

Not terribly disastrous… until it is. Then movie-movie melodrama gives way to eco-cataclysm and new realms of planetary existential nightmare. I cannot recall a movie’s ending haunting me this much.

The Wave (Bølgen) movie review: disaster, Scandinavian style (LFF 2015)

Mon, Nov 16, 2015

The traditional Hollywood disaster flick goes to Norway, and is grim and gripping around all the time-honored ridiculous clichés crammed into it.

A Thousand Times Good Night review: conflict and (high) resolution

A drama of conscience and passion, a finely observed portrait of a woman driven to make a difference in the world, even as it hurts those she loves.
