In this elegantly unsettling murder mystery, Stellan Skarsgard plays an enigmatic Swedish detective with a checkered past who arrives in a small town in northern Norway to investigate the death of a teenage girl. As he digs deeper into the facts surrounding the heinous killing, his own demons and the tyrannical midnight sun begin to take a toll. The success of Erik Skjoldbaerg`s chilling procedural anticipated the international hunger for Scandinavian noirs and serial- killer fictions, and the film features one of Skarsgard`s greatest performances.

enttäuscht

This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Ich fand die Story an sich nicht schlecht, aber kraftlos umgesetzt und langweilig, mitunter unglaubwürdig. Skarsgard überzeugt aber als zunehmend durchgeknallter Cop und Maria Bonnevie ist wunderschön.
