Northern Lights

Iceland excels as a new country producing crime thrillers with 'Black's Game', rubbing shoulders with the Swedish veterans behind 'Jægerne 2', which had been awaited for 15 years. Nail-biting reaches new levels with the chilling thriller, 'Babycall', with Noomi Rapace in the lead role.

Should you prefer portraits of people rather than scares, then there is claustrophobic drama in 'Happy End', a dynamic generation portrait in 'Sons of Norway', and end-of-life drama with a dab of irony in 'Avalon'.
