Director Erik Poppe, Producer Stein B. Kvae, lead actress, Andrea Berntzen and a survivor of the Utoya massacre, attended the Golden Globe screening of “U-July 22” this week in Los Angeles.
When I watched ‘‘U-July 22’ at El Gouna Ff in October, I knew that Paul Greengrass’s film dealing with the same subject was receiving rave notices and I wanted to see the Norwegian version of the event.
Norwegian director Erik Poppe’s depiction of the 2011 terror attack on the Utøya island concentrates on the survivors’ stories, while Greengrass focuses on Anders Breivik, the right-wing gunman and his trial.
Testimonies and known facts
U — July 22 is written on the basis of testimonies and known facts, but for the sake of the victims and their relatives, characters and individual experiences are fictitious.
Most important for us at this moment is to ensure that those affected by the terror are given the opportunity...

Stars: Andrea Berntzen, Aleksander Holmen, Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne, Jenny Svennevig, Solveig Koløen Birkeland, Ingeborg Enes Kjevik, Sorosh Sadat, Brede Fristad, Aleksander Holmen, Karoline Schau | Written by Siv Rajendram Eliassen, Anna Bache-Wiig | Directed by Erik Poppe
Directed by Erik Poppe, this award-winning Norwegian drama recreates the events of the Utoya massacre in a single 72 minute take. Presenting the story entirely from the point of view of one of the victims, it’s a terrifying and horrifically immersive experience that is utterly devastating.
On 22 July, 2011, Norway suffered two tragic terrorist attacks, both committed by one man, a right-wing extremist. The first forms a prologue of sorts here, as CCTV footage shows the car bomb explosion in Oslo that killed eight people. Two hours later, the perpetrator travelled to the island of Utoya and opened fire on a group of defenceless teenagers at a socialist youth summer camp, killing 69 people in the course of 72 minutes.

The controversial project is in Competition at Berlin Film Festival.
Erik Poppe’s U-July 22, playing in Competition at the Berlin Film Festival, tells the story of 500 youths who were attacked by terrorist Anders Behring Breivik at a Norwegian summer camp in 2011.
Despite the extremely sensitive subject matter, the project is not exploitative according to Ingrid Endrerud, a real-life survivor from the massacre.
Talking at a press conference during the Berlinale, she said: “The core is to tell the story because it has been impossible to tell. To capture and show this was right – [extremism] is hate in the purest form, and we have to stand against it. This film is historical, and is important to tell.”
Lead actress Andrea Berntzen, who plays fictional character ‘Kaja’ in the film, added that she was initially sceptical of the film.
“When I first heard about this movie, I was critical. Like many others in my generation, some thought this story...

How do you make a film about Utøya? Veteran Norwegian helmer Erik Poppe’s latest feature will revive discussions about the justification of making movies about recent historical tragedies, just as Paul Greengrass suffered the wrath of the Twitterati when it was announced he, too, was making a movie about the 2011 Norway attacks for Netflix. It’s been six-and-a-half years since right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 in the worst attack in Norway since the Second World War. This grueling, pulsating, in-your-face film–almost to a fault–has ferocious power, but it’s going to divide like a fissure.
Shot in one take in a style that could raise accusations of artistic pretension, Poppe’s camera settles on 18-year-old Kaja–a fictional character, like all others in the film–portrayed in a brave, dignified performance by newcomer Andrea Berntzen. Kaja wants to be in politics and is in the ideal place for it,...
