Win a Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray of Erik Skjoldbjærg’s ‘Insomnia’

Hailed as ‘one of the best Nordic Noirs’ (Collider), Erik Skjoldbjærg’s (Narvik, Pioneer) sun-drenched directorial debut Insomnia, starring recent Academy Award® nominee Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value, Mamma Mia, Good Will Hunting), has received an eye-opening new 4K UHD/Blu-ray Limited Edition, courtesy of Second Sight Films. The film is out now and we have a copy for you to win below.

As ‘Norwegian film is entering a new era’ (Guardian), Second Sight Films reawakens this brooding and atmospheric ‘90s chiller that not only kicked off a wave of renowned Nordic Noir films but also paved the way for Christopher Nolan’s 2002 remake.

The new Limited Edition Box Set will have fans up all night with a slew of special features including new interviews with the filmmakers, short films from director Erik Skjoldbjærg, a 120-page book with new essays and much more. Please see full details on attached.

When 17-year-old Tanja Lorentzen is found murdered in the Northern Nordic city of Tromsø, two Kripos police officers are called in to investigate: Jonas Engström (Skarsgård) – a disgraced former Swedish police officer who moved to Norway following an inappropriate relationship with a witness – and his partner Erik Vik (Sverre Anker Ousdal – Blodsbånd, Familjen).

With a cold, cunning and calculated killer on the loose, the officers attempt an arrest, but it goes terribly wrong when the suspect escapes and Jonas mistakenly shoots Erik, later pinning his death on the fugitive.

Haunted by guilt and repressed by the relentless glare of the Arctic Circle’s midnight sun, a destabilised Jonas gets caught up in a game of cat-and-mouse with the killer and as his insomnia worsens, so does his grip on reality.

Examining the fine line between cop and criminal, Insomnia is a gripping descent into the darkness of a person’s psyche set against Norway’s luminescent icy backdrop.
