01
In Order of Disappearance
Why this pick
The same deadpan Scandinavian criminal underworld, where grief and revenge unfold through dry, absurd humour and morally weathered characters.

02
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
Why this pick
Its precisely composed tableaux, poker-faced performances and melancholy comic timing echo the gentle absurdity beneath Kaurismäki-like Nordic noir sensibilities.
03
Flickering Lights
Why this pick
A criminal getaway turns into an offbeat character piece, balancing blunt violence, damaged male friendship and unexpectedly warm, deadpan comedy.
04
The Bothersome Man
Why this pick
This coolly observed Norwegian fable shares the film’s restrained, bleakly comic tone and fascination with an emotionally disconnected man trying to restart.
05
The Green Butchers
Why this pick
For its pitch-black Nordic humour, eccentric small-town criminality and affection for socially misfit men pursuing a very dubious second chance.
