Why we chose it

Christopher Nolan made this American take on a classic Scandinavian thriller long before “Oppenheimer”, moving it from Norway to Alaska and handing Stellan Skarsgård’s part to Al Pacino. He kept the day that never ends, and the less his detective sleeps, the more paranoid he gets.

Synopsis

A Los Angeles detective comes to Nightmute, Alaska, to help the local police with the brutal murder of a teenage girl, but a manhunt in thick fog leaves everything badly tangled. Up here the sun never sets, and the longer he goes without sleep, the harder it is to hold himself together while he’s awake.
