Ibsen Movie Night

at the Norwegian embassy!


The Norwegian movies

”Suzannah” and “En folkefiende”

will be shown in the embassy’s multi function hall on

October 17th at 7.00 pm.


The event is free of charge, and the featured movies will be subtitled in English.


“Suzannah” is a stage production made for Norwegian television, and features the renowned actress Wenche Foss in the main part as Ibsen’s wife Suzannah. It was written by the world famous Norwegian author and playwright Jon Fosse, and is a gripping representation of the sometimes troubled life of the wife of Ibsen.

The movie “En folkefiende”, or “An Enemy of the People” in English, is a modern interpretation of one of Ibsen’s famous plays by the same name. The direction is by Erik Skjoldberg, who has won international renown as the man behind such movies as “Insomnia” and “Prozac Nation”. It demonstrates that Ibsen is as relevant today as he ever was: The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone.
