No Comment

A screening of the political satire No Comment, called "a sharp and entertaining satire with a biting edge." Norwegian director Petter Næss (Elling) takes aim at a political establishment willing to sacrifice morality and truth to hold on to power. As an election approaches, sitting Prime Minister Alma Solvik hopes to regain voters' trust after it is revealed that her husband Sondre made lucrative stock deals during her time in office, and with her spin doctor Karianne Moen she orchestrates a bold strategy to protect her and her party's reputation — whatever it takes. Næss and screenwriter Ståle Stein Berg drew inspiration from real-life political scandals, not least the stock trading scandal involving Norway's former Prime Minister.
