PIONEER<br />
PIONÉR<br />
Director Erik Skjoldbjaerg’s suspenseful thriller begins<br />
as Petter and Knut, brothers and two of Norway’s<br />
best professional divers, are training to dive a deathdefying<br />
500 metres below the surface of the Black<br />
Sea. It’s the early 80s, and oil and natural gas reserves<br />
worth millions have been discovered off the shores<br />
of Norway. Working as part of a joint Norwegian-US<br />
effort for a multinational corporation, the two men<br />
risk everything to reach the ocean floor and the<br />
untapped natural resources. When their first mission<br />
ends in tragedy, Petter must uncover what really<br />
happened and why.<br />

Director: Erik Skjoldbjaerg 2013 Norway<br />
Writers: Hans Gunnarsson, Nikolaj Frobenius, Erik Skjoldbjærg<br />
Cast: Aksel Hennie, Wes Bentley, Stephanie Sigman<br />
Sixteen years ago, Skjoldbjaerg made his directorial<br />
debut with the contemporary thriller classic Insomnia<br />
(later remade by Christopher Nolan), and his return to<br />
the genre is a wonderfully tense work with ever-rising<br />
stakes. Boasting an atmospheric soundtrack by AIR<br />
and a superb lead performance by Aksel Hennie, one<br />
of Norway’s biggest stars, Pioneer is a gripping tale of<br />
determination, avarice and paranoia in the deep sea.<br />
