During the past two decades Norway has emerged into the bright sunlight of international acclaim for films like Orion's Belt, The Pathfinder, The Telegraphist, Eggs, The Other Side of Sunday, Junk Mail, Insomnia, Cool & Crazy, Elling, Kitchen Stories and Hawaii Oslo. Peter Cowie has followed the renaissance in Norwegian Cinema since the early 1970's and reviewed the nation's production in "Scandinavian cinema" (London 1992) and "Straight from the Heart" (Oslo 1999). In this illustrated volume he describes the themes and personalities involved in the period 1990 - 2005. From studies of youngsters to historical epics, from comedies to experimental works, the Norwegian feature film offers a rich palette of styles and subject-matter. For anyone interested in European cinema, this book will provide a fascinating companion to one of the continent's most adventurous and courageous film industries.
