Quislings siste dager
Acclaimed director Erik Poppe (The King’s Choice) returns to wartime Norway with Quisling: The Final Days, a bold and fascinating historical drama about the country’s infamous – if not most controversial - autocratic leader.
July 1945. Norway has been liberated following WWII, and the country’s head of state Vidkun Quisling (a towering Gard B. Eidsvold) is arrested and put on trial for high treason, accused of collaborating with the Nazis. While devoted wife Maria (Lisa Carlehed, The Emigrants) defiantly stands by her husband and does her utmost to save him, pastor Peder Olsen (Anders Danielsen Lie) begins a series of meetings that officials hope will extract a measure of contrition from the defiant politician.
Powered by strong performances, Quisling: The Final Days is a stirring meditation on complicity, faith and the human capacity for self-deception. Delving into the circumstances and motivations of Quisling – a man whose name has become a byword for traitor – this eloquent, thought-provoking film presents him not only as a figure of great complexity, but also one with a disconcerting abundance of contemporary counterparts.
