Synopsis
Experience the finest in Scandinavian cinema with this must-own collection of landmark films from Denmark, Sweden and Norway. With some of the great directors of world cinema, including Lars Von Trier (Dogville) and Lasse Hallström (Chocolat), this is the quintessential Scandinavian film collection.
Insomnia (1997)
A brilliant thriller starring Stellan Skarsgård (Breaking the Waves) that was famously remade by Hollywood in 2002 with Al Pacino in the lead. Erik Skjoldbjærg’s (Prozac Nation) debut feature is a deft amalgam of psychological thriller, morality play and police procedural.
“virtually flawless…an imaginative psychological thriller from Norway that demands total attention.” The Los Angeles times
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Starring Emily Watson (The Proposition) and Stellan Skarsgård (Good Will Hunting), this triumphant tale of tragedy, faith and redemption - the first in Lars Von Trier’s “Golden Heart” trilogy including Dancer in the Dark - is a cinematic tour de force.
Award wreath: “Winner, Grand Jury Prize, Cannes Film Festival (1997)
My Life As a Dog (1988)

Award Wreath: Winner, Golden Globe, Best Foreign Film (1988)
