PYROMANIAC: Erik Skjoldbjærg Returns With New Norwegian Thriller

Erik Skjoldbjærg, the acclaimed director of Insomnia - later remade by Christopher Nolan - and Nokas returns to the big screen with Pyromaniac, a period set thriller which has just released its first trailer.

The year is 1981 and it is summer in the little village of Finsland. Dag is 19 years old and has spent his childhood in the countryside living with his parents. His father is chief of the local volunteer fire brigade and Dag has since he was a child been going along with his father to the call-outs. Dag has recently returned after a year of military service and his parents notice that he has changed. Then the fires begin.

Skjoldbjærg has long been considered one of Norway's finest and this certainly looks to continue that run. The production values are simply fabulous and his principal cast of Agnes Kittelsen, Henrik Rafaelsen, Trond Nilssen all appear very strong, indeed. Take a look at the trailer below.
