Director Rune Denstad Langlo / 2009 / Norway

<p><strong>“Magnificently visual, with deadpan acting reminiscent of the road movies of Jim Jarmusch and Bouli Lanners and a quirky economy of style.” - <em>Variety </em></strong><em></em></p>

<p>Rune Denstad Langlo makes his directorial debut with a wacky ski movie blessed with deft Scandinavian humour and commanding performances. One of the funniest movies at this year's Berlin film festival,<em> North</em> follows Jomar as he sets out to reach the Norweigian Arctic on a snowmobile.</p>

<p>Langlo draws out brilliantly expressive performances from a mostly non-professional cast. Astounding visuals - filmed under extremely adverse conditions in the dead of winter - create a spectacular impression of Norway's polar climes.</p>

<p>“As stolid Jomar, Anders Baasmo Christiansen brings a special heft to the notion of a deadpan performance.” - <em>Screen International</em></p>
