Insomnia (1997)

September’s theme is EUROPEAN VACATION and it’s not all French! We head up to Norway in this episode. Way up by the Arctic circle in a small town where, in the summer, it can be 24 hour daylight for days. They call it the midnight sun and it’s gonna fuck up your circadian rhythm. A girl has been murdered and two Kripos are sent up from Oslo to investigate but horrible accidents happen and many bad decisions follow. The midnight sun can be maddening if you’re not used to it. If only Engstrom could get some sleep then maybe he could approach this case rationally. We’re discussing an impressive debut neo noir by Erik Skjoldbjærg from 1997 called “INSOMNIA” starring Stellan Skarsgård, Sverre Anger Ousdal and Bjørn Floberg. This movie is on prime last we checked. They made a remake in 2002 directed by Christopher Nolan but we’re OG in this one. We simply can’t pass up the possibility of seeing Stellan Skarsgård’s penis. There’s about a 30% chance of that whenever you see him in something. We’re the new Mr. Skin but exclusively for Scandinavian penis.
