Lux Æterna (2022)

Lux Æterna is preceded in screenings by The Art of Filmmaking, a 15 minute montage of Cecil B. DeMille films narrated over with a hypnotic suggestion to relax alongside droning orchestration. The montage strobes through red, green and blue colorgrades of itself in rapid succession. The final clip, showing the crucifixion scene from The King of Kings, strobes in black and white.

I myself cannot quite figure it out.

The Snowman (2017)

The logic in beginning with The Snowman may be that it’s the most hookily lurid of Nesbø’s narratives, centered as it is on the hunt for what we are told is Norway’s first serial killer: a darkly whimsical maniac who’s kidnapping and carving up a variety of women in Oslo, Bergen and beyond, leaving a stern-faced snowman at the scene of every crime.
