Director of Sundance-Winning ‘The Guilty’ Set For ‘Vogter’ With Films du Losange, Nordisk Film On Board; First Still Revealed (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent Gustav Möller, who won the Audience Award at Sundance with his previous film “The Guilty,” has just completed the shooting of “Vogter,” a psychological thriller which has been boarded by Nordisk Film and Les Films du Losange. “Vogter” boasts a stellar Nordic cast including Sidse Babett Knudsen, the BAFTA-winning actor of “Borgen,” Dar Salim (“Game of Thrones”) and up-and-comer Sebastian Bull.
The film follows Eva, an idealistic prison officer who is faced with the dilemma of her life when a young man from her past gets transferred to the prison where she works.
Without revealing her secret, Eva asks to be moved to the young man’s ward – the toughest and most violent in the prison.
