Read the original description from the 2015 Film Guide below:
Directed by Hans Petter Moland | Norway | 2014 | DCP | 116 min. | Norwegian and Swedish with English subtitles
The snowiest, funniest, and bloodiest crime comedy since Fargo, this all-star Norwegian thriller is a dark delight. When his son is murdered by drug dealers, a mild-mannered snowplow driver (the great Stellan Skarsgård) turns amateur assassin, trading in his Citizen of the Year trophy for a sawed-off rifle. As he systematically dispenses with the men responsible for his son's death, his vigilante justice creates confusion among the underworld's rival gangs, who mistakenly blame each other for the deaths, triggering an all-out turf war. Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire, Downfall) and Pål Sverre Hagen (Kon-Tiki, WFF 2012) are perfectly despicable as the stoic godfather and sniveling fop lording over these motley heaps. Director Hans Petter Moland (A Somewhat Gentle Man, WFF 2011) has crafted a ruthlessly entertaining comic thriller with enough black laughs to match its impressive body count. The absolutely stacked cast also includes great turns from weird beard extraordinaire Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones, Force Majeure) and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (Borgen). "Brought the house down... a dark, mordantly hilarious blast" (Indiewire).
See the Norwegian original before the remake featuring Liam Neeson is released in February 2019! RSVP on Facebook.
All Tuesday Night Movie Club screenings are free, take place in The Marquee, Union South (1308 W. Dayton Street) and begin at 7:00 pm. TNMC is presented in partnership with the Department of Communication Arts and WUD Film.
