in order of disappearance (2014). directed by hans petter moland.

last year i was on a frenzy to watch all things that i could lay my hands on stellan skarsgard. i have been a long time fan, and the interest was reignited when i watched river (2015) not netflix. of course, this also led to the discovery of hans petter moland, a norwegian director that has spark my passion for scandinavian movies.  

i am a fan of dark comedies. this is a story full of contrasts, the white snowy landscape where nothing moves which should not be mistaken for the dearth of life in the form of violent drug lords, clumsy small time crooks and a grieving father who just can't let go. 

do me a favour and skip liam neeson's frame by frame adaptation of this movie (title cold pursuit (2019)), and give this a watch instead. skipping hollywood once a in a while often feels like a breath of fresh air.
