Eva SØRHAUG 2012 Norway Fiction color 90min Norwegian DCP
What happens in the last 90 minutes of a human life before they commit a crime? In 90 Minutes we follow Johan who is making a luxurious last supper for his wife, Fred who is on his weekly visit with the kids, and Trond who has completely lost control of his use of violence towards his young wife who just gave birth to a child. Before the irretrievable act of murder happens, these men once wanted to be good men. 90 Minutes doesn't try to give any answers or to find psychological explanations, but simply to follow these men's perspective and stay with them and share the minutes just before it's too late. Based on real cases, this is director and script writer Eva Sørhaug's boldest fiction in accusing gender violence.
