Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In Norwegian with English subtitles. The film's original title is Døden er et Kjærtegn.

Directed by Edith Carlmar. Considered Norway's first film noir. Wealthy socialite Sonja meets handsome, muscular mechanic Erik when she drops off her car for repairs. Instantly attracted to each other, they break off relationships to be together and eventually marry - which is when of course the real problems begin. Few films have ever more effectively conveyed a kind of "male- hysteria", as Erik comes to regard his wife increasingly as an enigma whom he can't control or understand. The first film of Norway's first female director Edith Carlmar. The themes presented in the movie were scandalous enough to result in a cinema boycotting it and a death threat to the director.

"Steamy": Not a word commonly associated with the arts in Norway. Think Knut Hamsun and Edvard Munch. Here's the exception.
