It all turns into a The Bridge against the clock to prevent a disaster where many lives are at stake Written by Nimbus Film. I The Bridge advice readers not to listen to people who didn't even bother watching at least half the series before writing a review. Truth is, the show is a bit of a slow starter. At the The Bridge of episode one, I was left with the impression of a fairly mediocre show with an annoying female lead character that is poorly acted. However, one soon realizes that her restrained and unemotional manner is part of her character. Underneath this, Sofia Helin The Bridge subtle nuances and complexity to her character that shows that she is a good actress. The plot also picks up and gets gradually more exciting and entertaining. Contrary to what others suggested, Kim Bodnia who plays the danish cop was actually very enthusiastic about this project and had nothing but praise for his female co-star. Needless to say, he is also very good in his role here. So my opinion is that this is a well made series with a complex and entertaining plot, The Bridge characters and good cinematography. On the negative side, some of the actors playing minor roles are sometimes less The Bridge stellar, the plot is far-fetched in places and the sound quality leaves some things to be desired in a few scenes. But with that said, Bron The Bridge a very good and well made series. Just make sure to give it a chance beyond the first couple of episodes or so before you decide what to think. Especially the main female character is somewhat unusual and requires some time to get a grasp of. But give it and her a chance and you won't regret it. Looking for something to watch?

Much of our gratitude for this revolution in our viewing habits should go to our neighbours in the north. It first aired here inand quickly acquired a devoted following, just as it had back home. Interesting though both these twists on the premise are, neither has quite captured the special atmosphere of the Scandinavian original. That impressive structure is a constant presence in the show, looming in the distance in misty daytime scenes or viewed from above at night as it carries innumerable travellers to their destinations on either side of the strait that shares its name. It brings together these two superficially similar countries, even as the cases investigated by their respective police forces throw their many subtle differences into sharp relief. Ad — content continues below. In the first series, the bridge itself becomes a crime scene, when the corpse of a Swedish politician, The Bridge in half at the waist, is discovered at the midway point between The Bridge two countries. In the The Bridge series, a campaign of atrocities conducted by eco-terrorists is only the first strike in a terrifying plot to spread a deadly airborne The Bridge at an EU climate conference in Copenhagen. That shocking outcome left writer Hans Rosenfeldt with a difficult task ahead of him as he developed series three. A major setback was around the corner, however. That central pairing at the heart of The Bridge had been a huge part of its success; the prospect of watching Saga alone in an often hostile and uncomprehending world was bleak indeed. The first episode of series three, broadcast in Britain in autumnseemed to confirm our worst fears. Her The Bridge — its heart removed — has been arranged in a grisly tableau, seated at a table surrounded by several mannequins posed to resemble a family. An ill-fated attempt to track him The Bridge takes Hanne out of the picture for good, leaving Saga without a partner. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! However, all is not as it seems. And what a case it is, with a fascinating cast The Bridge characters and a dizzying array of potential motives. Red herrings, false leads and misunderstandings abound, with the focus of the investigation narrowing slowly but surely until the net The Bridge around an oddly pitiable killer. Compelling as it is, the murder investigation is not what makes the third series of The Bridge such unforgettable television. Martin helps Saga deal with confusing social norms, acting as a caring older brother while learning to appreciate her refreshing straightforwardness, not a quality found in his often complicated home life. He shows her the unwritten rules of everyday interaction, and then shatters her understanding of the The Bridge by breaking the law, that fixed and intelligible The Bridge in which she has such unshakeable faith. His loss, along with that of her caring boss Hans Dag Malmbergis a bitter blow. Martin is rarely mentioned and never seen in series three, but his absence is felt at every turn. The research she The Bridge done comes through strongly on screen, and she deserves immense credit for her sensitive, The Bridge portrayal. As neurodiversity becomes more widely understood and accepted, positive depictions of autistic people are to be welcomed. The Bridge consistently avoids lazy assumptions and prejudices in the many social and political issues it tackles, and The Bridge is no exception. She is blunt, struggles with humour and finds social interaction difficult, but her intense focus, meticulous attention The Bridge detail and unfailing honesty make her easy to love. In short, she is a plausible and layered human being, without a The Bridge of stereotype. Creating a new character of sufficient depth and complexity to match our Saga was a tall order. Somehow, they managed it. Henrik — a man who has lost The Bridge, and who is only managing to maintain the illusion of a normal life by relying on a dangerous cocktail of drugs — is deeply troubled in ways that become heartbreakingly clear as the series progresses. The real question here is whether The Bridge two wounded people can find their way back out of the encroaching darkness. They The Bridge, and watching that The Bridge is a joy. No sentimentality mars the depiction of their growing bond. Emotional devastation has forced him into the isolation Saga has experienced throughout her life, and this sudden, intense connection will bring them both The Bridge from the edge. The final episode of series three brings a devastating tragedy for one of them and a potentially career-ending injustice for the other.

Filmen tegner et sort billede af Reykjavik’s underverden og skildrer desuden de radikale ændringer som fandt sted i den kriminelle underverden omkring årtusindeskiftet. Svartur a leik siges at være under indflydelse af Pusher (1996) som fik kæmpe succes både i Danmark og udenlands. Filmene anses for at være, hver i sit land „den første realistiske kortlægning af narkotikahandel som foregår i forbrydermiljøet“ men på hver sin måde og fra forskellig synsvinkel. Opgaven går ud på komparativ filmanalyse med hensyn til indhold, stil, miljø og samfund samt den virkelighed filmene har deres rødder og udspringer af. I den første del er der lagt vægt på baggrundsemne som knyttes til filmene, både direkte og indirekte. Dernæst kommer selve filmanalysen hvor fokussen ligger på værkanalysen eller filmens indhold og i kølvandet følger så den filmtekniske analyse. Derefter er filmene sat i et perspektiv i relation til dens virkelighed og samfundsmæssige forhold. Jeg vil endvidere se på hvilke områder filmene adskiller sig, og på hvilke områder de ligner hinanden, og i hvor høj grad vi befinder os i en realistisk verden i filmene.

  • Investigating Nordic Noir
    Investigating Nordic Noir By Sofia Alexi A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Victoria University of Wellington 2017 3 Abstract Alexi Sofia, Film Studies, Victoria University of Wellington Abstract of Master’s Thesis, Submitted 10 April 2017: “Investigating Nordic noir” Scandinavian crime films and television series have become popular in recent years. This thesis explores some of the key texts in ‘Nordic noir’ through a discussion of detectives, the environment, and visual style. The emphasis in the project is on textual analysis. The first chapter examines the figures of Wallander and Lund in Wallander and Forbrydelsen respectively. I argue that the conflicts Nordic detectives often have between work and the domestic sphere are an indication of how gender stereotypes are challenged in the Scandinavian crime genre. The second chapter considers the role of the natural and built environments in Nordic noir. Features such as forests and water play a crucial role in Forbrydelsen because of the ways in which they create uncertainty, anticipation, and suspense. The urban spaces of Bron/Broen develop a sense of anonymity that recalls the function of the city in classic film noir. Rather than developing links between Sweden and Denmark, the series suggests that the Øresund bridge that spans the two countries is ultimately a disconnecting, centrifugal force that functions as what Marc Augé would call a ‘non-place’. The final chapter considers the role of colour and light in the films Insomnia and Jar City. My analysis demonstrates that Nordic noir encompasses more than naturalism and realism.

    Die Brücke – Transit in den Tod Neue fünfteilige Krimiserie Ab Sonntag, 18. März 2012, 22.00 Uhr 2 Deutsch-skandinavischer Brückenschlag Vorwort von Wolfgang Feindt und Klaus Bassiner 5 "Die Brücke – Transit in den Tod" Stab, Besetzung, Inhalt 14 Scandinavian Crime Statement von Produzent Peter Nadermann 15 Biografien 22 Kontakt ZDF-Pressestelle, Bildhinweis, Impressum z.presse 2. Februar 2012 Deutsch-skandinavischer Brückenschlag Der Ausgangspunkt der Geschichte ist bizarr. Auf der Öresundbrücke, die Schweden und Dänemark verbindet, wird eine weibliche Leiche entdeckt. Am Tatort stellt sich heraus, dass die Leiche, die in der Mitte durchtrennt war, von zwei Körpern stammt. Eine Hälfte des Körpers gehört zu einer schwedischen Politikerin, die andere zu einer däni- schen Prostituierten. So kommt es zum Zusammentreffen der ungleichen Kommissare Saga Norén, einer extrovertierten Singlefrau aus Schweden, und Martin Rohde, dem emotionsgeladenen Familienmenschen aus Dänemark. Beide haben es mit einem intelligenten und äußerst gefährlichen Ge- genspieler zu tun: ein Terrorist, der erbarmungslos zuschlägt und seine Taten mit dem Anspruch verbindet, der westlichen Gesellschaft den Spiegel vorzuhalten. Ähnlich wie bei "Kommissarin Lund" beginnt eine erbarmungslose Verbrecherjagd über fünf Folgen. 500 Minuten Sendezeit zur Ermitt- lung eines Täters, wobei in jeder einzelnen Episode eine abgeschlos- sene Geschichte erzählt wird. In der ersten Folge macht der Terrorist die Ungleichheit der Menschen vor dem Gesetz zum Thema. Als die dänische Prostituierte als ver- misst gemeldet wird, stellt man die Fahndung nach knapp zwei Wo- chen ein, für die getötete schwedische Politikerin dagegen setzt der Staatsapparat alle Hebel in Bewegung. In der zweiten Folge geschieht ein weiterer Mord, sodass die Ermittler davon ausgehen müssen, dass ein Serientäter am Werk ist.

  • Pusher (1996) Un'opera Prima Divenuta Un Cult
    Pusher (1996) Un'opera prima divenuta un cult. Un film di Nicolas Winding Refn con Kim Bodnia, Zlatko Buric, Laura Drasbæk, Slavko Labovic, Mads Mikkelsen, Peter Andersson, Vanja Bajicic, Lisbeth Rasmussen, Levino Jensen, Thomas Bo Larsen. Genere Drammatico durata 105 minuti. Produzione Danimarca 1996. L'esordio cinematografico del regista danese Nicolas Winding Refn. Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Frank, uno spacciatore che è anche cocainomane, sta per vivere la peggiore settimana della sua vita. Dopo aver venduto droga ottenendone meno di quanto previsto si ritrova in un grosso guaio. Deve rendere al serbo Milo una grossa somma a cui se ne aggiunge una esorbitante perché, mentre trattava un importante affare con uno svedese, è stato catturato dalla polizia e ha versato tutto il quantitativo di droga (avuta da Milo) nel lago. Ora deve trovare in tempi brevissimi tutti i soldi. Il film d'esordio di Nicolas Winding Refn è divenuto un cult nonostante non fosse nato sotto i migliori auspici. Refn si è sempre vantato di non avere nessuna 'scuola' di cinema alle spalle e suo padre Anders (montatore di film come ' 'Le onde del destino'') riteneva che fosse sintomo di follia girare un'opera prima senza un minimo background professionale alle spalle. Nicolas gli ha dimostrato che invece era possibile realizzando un film in cui i difetti (se ci sono) scompaiono dinanzi alla tensione che pervade l'intero film. Si tratta di una progressione che, sia sul piano della sceneggiatura che su quello stilistico, accompagna Frank nei gironi sempre più cupi di un inferno in cui vive quasi da sempre (quasi, perché la scena con la madre fa intravedere un passato tanto remoto quanto diverso).

    Kingulliit Productions and Isuma Productions present ᓄᐊ ᐱᐅᒑᑦᑑᑉ ᐅᓪᓗᕆᓚᐅᖅᑕᖓ ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF NOAH PIUGATTUK *** PRELIMINARY PRESS NOTES – AS OF JULY 5, 2019 *** FEATURING Apayata Kotierk as Noah Piugattuk Kim Bodnia Isumataq (Boss) Benjamin Kunuk Evaluarjuk (Ningiuq) Mark Taqqaugaq Amaaq Neeve Uttak Tatigat Tessa Kunuk Nattuk Zacharias Kunuk Writer / Producer / Director Norman Cohn Writer / Director of Photography / Editor Jonathan Frantz Producer / Co-director of Photography / Co-editor Lucy Tulugarjuk First Assistant Director Susan Avingaq Production Designer Carol Kunnuk Production Supervisor Noah Piugattuk Music Running Time: 113 minutes Languages: Inuktitut, English DCP – Dolby 5.1 Shot in 4K Digital Kapuivik, north Baffin Island, 1961. Noah Piugattuk’s nomadic Inuit band live and hunt by dogteam, just as his ancestors did when he was born in 1900. When the white man known as Boss arrives in camp, what appears as a chance meeting soon opens up the prospect of momentous change. In today’s contentious global media environment, when millions of people have been driven from their homes worldwide, Isuma media art in the UN Year of Indigenous Languages looks at the forced relocation of families from an Inuit point of view. Our name Isuma means ‘to think,’ a state of thoughtfulness, intelligence or an idea. As this film illuminates Canada’s relocation of Inuit in the 1950s and 60s, we seek to reclaim our history and imagine a different future. DIRECTOR’S VISION – ZACHARIAS KUNUK Igloolik elder Noah Piugattuk was born in 1900 and passed away in 1996. His life story is that of Canada’s Inuit in the 20th century – that of my parents’ generation and my own.

  • Race, Ethnicity, and Gang Violence: Exploring Multicultural Tensions in Contemporary Danish Cinema
    Race, Ethnicity, and Gang Violence: Exploring Multicultural Tensions in Contemporary Danish Cinema KATE MOFFAT ABSTRACT: One of the most striking genre conventions to emerge in Danish cinema in recent years is the gangster motif. Replete with gritty social realism, urban decay, and tribal warfare between different ethnic groups, these films reflect a growing discontent in the Danish welfare state, particularly regarding multiculturalism and inclusion. This article follows these trends from the mid-1990s, focusing specifically on the themes of ethnic division in four films: Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher (1996), Michael Noer’s Nordvest (2013) [Northwest], Omar Shargawi’s Gå med fred, Jamil (2008) [Go With Peace, Jamil], and Michael Noer and Tobias Lindholm’s R (2010) [R: Hit First, Hit Hardest]. The article explores racial division in these films by examining how they reflect or subvert cultural and political approaches towards diversity in Denmark over the last two decades. RÉSUMÉ : L’une des conventions de genre les plus frappantes à avoir émergée dans le cinéma danois ces dernières années est le genre gangster. Remplis de réalisme social audacieux, de déclin urbain et de guerres tribales entre différents groupes ethniques, ces films reflètent un mécontentement croissant envers l’État-providence danois, en particulier en ce qui concerne le multiculturalisme et l’inclusion. Cet article suit ces tendances depuis le milieu des années 1990, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur les thèmes du clivage ethnique dans quatre films: Pusher de Nicolas Winding Refn (1996), Nordvest [Northwest, en français : Nord-Ouest] (2013) de Michael Noer, Gå med fred, Jamil d’Omar Shargawi [Go With Peace, Jamil, en français : Va en paix, Jamil] (2008), et R de Michael Noer et Tobias Lindholm (2010).
