5) Narvik :

 

‘Narvik’ on Netflix, a World War II Historical-Fiction Saga About the Nazi Invasion of Neutral Norway. 

Narvik (now on Netflix) under Earnest Not Widely Told Stories of World War II, now Significantly More Widely Told thanks to director Erik Skjoldbjaerg (who notably helmed the original version of Insomnia, famously remade by Christopher Nolan, as well as Prozac Nation). It’s set in 1940 in the title town, a seaside community that, as a series of opening subtitles outline, was a strategic linchpin in the conflict between Allied forces and Nazi dickheads, the latter of whom invaded Norway, betraying the country’s status as a neutral state. And as these movies so often go, a smaller story finds itself ensconced in the larger one, in this case, that of a Norwegian soldier who heads off to fight the bad guys while his wife half-works for the occupying German jerks as a translator. The premise sets up some potentially fraught drama, now let’s see what Skjoldbjaerg delivers.
