Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Aksel Hennie and Nicolai Cleve Broch had previously starred together in 'Uno' (2004), making their on-screen tension here feel like a twisted reunion.
The film exemplifies the 'Norwegian awkward cinema' wave of the late 2000s, where social embarrassment became high art—think of it as the evil cousin of 'The Worst Person in the World' energy.
