Zero Kelvin
Visually stunning and psychologically intense, Sero Kelvin is a one-of-a-kind achievement, an existential thriller played out against the bleakly beautiful landscapes of Greenland.  The ensemble cast includes some of Scandinavia's top stars and a tour-de-force performance by the great Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting, The Hunt for Red October, Breaking the Waves and Amistad).  Henrik Larsen (Gard B. Eidsvold) is a young writer living in Oslo, Norway, who looks to broaden his horizons with travel and adventure.  He leaves behind his girlfriend (Camilla Martens) and joins a fur-trapping expedition that includes himself and two enigmatic men: the sailor Randbaek (Skarsgard) and the scientist Holm (Bjorn Sundquist). The cunning, vulgar Randbaek soon becomes Larsen's nemesis and he must use all his strength and wit to survive in a physical and psychological wilderness. Cut off from civilization, the men face the elements and each other with increasing difficulty, leading to a violent and harrowing climax.  A psychological thriller set in the context of a tense story of survival, Hans Petter Moland's Zero Kelvin is the rare exception to the genre-a thinking person's adventure film.
