Ein kalter norwegischer Winter im frühen 20. Jahrhundert: Auf der Gefängnisinsel Bastøy bei den Fjorden von Oslo lebt eine Gruppe straffälliger Jungen unter dem strengen Regime des Anstaltsleiters Hakon (Stellan Skarsgard). Die inhumanen Umstände, unter denen sie hier heranwachsen, prägen die Jungen, machen sie hart. Zugleich schweißt das eintönige Leben auf Bastøy die Heranwachsenden zusammen - sie werden zu einer verschworenen Einheit. Eines Tages kommt Erling auf die Insel, für den seine eigenen Regeln gelten. Er beugt sich dem brutalen Regime nicht und stachelt seine Mithäftlinge zur Revolte an. (Alamode Film)

The film is set in 1915 on a deserted island in Norway, home to a reformatory for juvenile delinquents. The institute is run by the sadistic hand of Stellan Skarsgård, who gives an amazing performance. The Scandinavians at its best with its no-holds-barred atmosphere, excellent performances, a gritty to uncomfortable setting with plenty of tension and a ruthless ending. Very good. 80%

The Northern history is often a very interesting topic... well, practically always... and so Norwegian creators, along with a whole host of European sponsors, decided to shoot a very interesting story that took place at the beginning of World War I in a penitentiary on the island of Bastøy in Norway. The story flows absolutely smoothly and Stellan Skarsgård holds the whole penitentiary together with his fantastic acting performance. And I must admit that I couldn't get bored with the whole movie thanks to him. He played the institution's leader simply brilliantly and his respect could be felt through those boys all the way to me in my room. Add to that the beautiful Nordic scenery, excellent music, and it's set for a solid five stars, which this film definitely deserves.

The Norwegian version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was really enjoyable except for a few weaker moments. Stellan Skarsgard was great as usual, and the creators provided a perfectly grim atmosphere. I just couldn’t empathize with any of the main characters. Sure, the caregivers shouldn't get intimate with their wards because it's unhygienic, but I do think that in our prisons, the guards should sometimes stand on an inmate's fingers instead of just changing games in their PS 4.
