After making his debut with the popular caper comedy Stealing Rembrandt, director Jannik Johansen moved into more emotionally and psychologically complex territory with Murk, a thriller about a man investigating his sister’s death. Now, Johansen steps away from genre with this drama about Ulrich, a successful but overworked estate agent who accidentally kills a man. While at a bar one evening, he gets into a fight with another patron who hits his head in a fall. Released by police after a short stay in jail, Ulrich is unable to resume his life with the guilt of his actions pressing down on him. And soon, a nasty incident from his past compounds his situation by impressing itself upon his present. Like Normal, White Night deals with the issues surrounding the impact of a death ? and its lingering effects ? on those who bear responsibility.
