Driven by the stunning visuals of the Norwegian landscape and a powerful original score, VIOLENT centers on a young woman, Dagny, and her last memories of the five people who loved her most, vividly recalled during a catastrophic event. The film opens with this event, which ultimately causes her death. The story then weaves gracefully through separate character-based chapters, providing glimpses into the lifelong friendship with a young sister, the increasingly ominous interactions with a seemingly benevolent family friend, and the moving wisdom of a beloved grandfather. Dagny's memories are intertwined with raw and beautiful interpretations of how she is experiencing death.
"As the film draws you in, or rather quietly casts its heady spell of sound and atmosphere around you that eccentric choice begins to make a compelling kind of sense."
