Okkupert (2015–2020)

Summary

[13 July 2016]

Top notch acting! Unfortunate to have to watch a guy in his 60's with a wife 30 years younger. Yuck. Must have been hundreds of talented Norwegian actress' in their late 40's who could have played the PM's wife. What is with male leads in films having wives the age of daughters? From a young females viewpoint it is rather off-putting. With Russia flexing its muscle in the Baltic area, UK's proposed exit from the EU, the script is extremely timely. Eldar Skar perfectly cast along with Salome Ementue as his wife. Ingaborga Dapkunaite as the Russian Ambassador to Norway brings a lot of nuance to this role. Nice chemistry between her and Eldar Skar. . Vegar Hoel plays the Investigative Journalist to a tee. The theme song ' Black and Gold by Silvert Hoyem is perfect. Very much looking forward to Season2. Comes out July 2016

Place of Execution (2008)

Why photos of a female in her late 20's representing a 13 year old.

[7/10 · 15 February 2016]

I love Lee Ingleby who plays George. I first encountered Lee in the production of ' Inspector George Gently' . The rest of the cast is just great. My bone of contention is the photos supposedly representing a13year old girl. The photos looked like a female in her late 20's not a young vulnerable teenager.

I would love to know the background of this choice. it was quite off- putting and lost some of its tension due to this. Why did they use this particular female's photos? Is she the Producer or Director's wife? There has to be a reason as it was the only glitch in an otherwise fine production.
