“A sharp and entertaining satire with a biting edge” —On October 28, see the political satire No Comment! In his newest film, Norwegian director Petter Næss (Elling) takes aim at a political establishment willing to sacrifice both morality and truth to save its own skin and hold on to power.As the election approaches, sitting Prime Minister Alma Solvik (Laila Goody) hopes for renewed trust from voters when it is revealed that her husband Sondre (Anders Baasmo) has made a series of lucrative stock deals during her time in office. With accusations of insider trading and conflicts of interest, Sondre becomes the perfect scapegoat in a high-stakes political circus. To contain the brewing media storm, Alma and her embattled spin doctor Karianne Moen (Pia Tjelta) orchestrate a bold strategy to protect her and her party’s reputation — whatever it takes.
Director Petter Næss and screenwriter Ståle Stein Berg draw inspiration from real-life political scandals — not least the stock trading scandal involving Norway’s former Prime Minister Erna Solberg and her husband, Sindre Finnes.
This film is presented in the series NEW NORDIC CINEMA, featuring some of the best new films from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Screenings take place weekly on Wednesdays at 7 PM. See the full schedule here:
