“A superb historical drama”
On September 10, see Quisling: The Final Days, directed by Erike Poppe (The King’s Choice; The Emigrants). This intense, electrifying film stars Gard B. Eidsvold as notorious Norwegian politician Vidkun Quisling over the days leading to his sentencing and execution in 1945.
In this psychological drama of the former Prime Minister of Norway responsible for one of the greatest betrayals during World War II, Quisling: The Final Days (Quislings siste dager, Norway, 2024) opens as five years of occupation during WW2 have ended in Norway. Quisling, a Nazi collaborator who led the state administration under the German regime, is now in prison for treason. Can a priest help him find peace of mind? And can this traitor himself repent?
“A superb historical drama about the far-right’s threat to democracy… A penetrating psychological study of a delusional authoritarian.” (Variety)
