Review
Narvik is a 2022 Norwegian war film directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg and starring Kristine Hartgen, Carl Martin Eggesbø, and Henrik Mestad. It tells the story of the Battle of Narvik, which took place in April and May 1940 and was the first major defeat for Nazi Germany in World War II.
The film follows a group of Norwegian soldiers as they fight to defend their town from the German invaders. It is a well-made and suspenseful film with some impressive battle scenes. However, it is also a surprisingly human film, focusing on the characters and their relationships as much as on the action.
One of the things that makes Narvik so compelling is its sense of urgency. The film does a great job of conveying the feeling of desperation that the Norwegian soldiers must have felt as they faced an overwhelmingly superior enemy force. The battle scenes are also very well done, with realistic and brutal depictions of hand-to-hand combat and artillery fire.
