Quote:
Not only the first Norwegian noir but the first Norwegian film directed by a woman, Edith Carlmar’s dark, simmering psychological drama centers on the torrid relationship that develops between a hunky young mechanic (Claus Wiese) and an older, wealthy socialite (sensational femme fatale Bjørg Riiser-Larsen), who leaves her husband to be with him. As their lusty affair turns destructive, jealousy and imbalances of class and power send them spiraling toward tragedy.Read More »
Synopsis:
‘The film “Ung frue forsvunnet” by acclaimed female Norwegian film maker Edith Calmar starts off this story in 1949 with a husband come home from a mountain trip, finding his young wife for two years, being traceless missing. She’s been gone for days, and the police is immediately contacted. A couple living on boat finds the woman’s hat floating, and it seem she’s dead either by being killed or falling into the river.
The manuscript is quite well done, and the story unfolds as the husband tells about his life with his wife, from meeting her casually. There’s a secret she’s never told him, because he didn’t want to hear it. This secret obviously is the reason for her disappearance.’
