Solstorm

While in a party promoted by her chief and friend Måns Wenngren (Jakob Eklund), the fiscal attorney Rebecka Martinsson (Izabella Scorupco) receives a call from her former sister-in-law Sanna Strandgård (Maria Sundbom) telling that her brother and preacher Viktor (André Sjöberg) was murdered, stabbed and with severed hands, and she would be arrested. Rebecka heads to her hometown Kiruna and defends Sanna, but the evidences found by the police in her house prove her guilty and she is arrested. While investigating the crime, Rebecka is haunted by her past and faces the bigoted and fanatic religious dwellers that worship the local church, and is more convinced of the innocence of Sanna.

"Solstorm" is a weird, but good thriller with great performances, highlighting the gorgeous Izabella Scorupco, and awesome locations and cinematography in Kiruna (Northern Sami: Giron), the northernmost city in Sweden, situated in Lappland province, that makes the viewer feel cold, no matter where he is. The non-linear screenplay is a little confused but never uses clichés; is very tense and uncomfortable and has an unexpected plot point in the end. My vote is six.
