The brilliant Nordic Noir label from Arrow Video which has released such fantastic shows/films as WALLANDER, THE KILLING, BORGEN and THE PROTECTORS to us lucky folk in the UK, is now looking to add another two releases to their exceptionally healthy looking catalogue. First of all we’ll have a box-set release of the first three films featuring detective VAN VEETEREN. Based on the books by Swedish novelist Håkan Nesser. This set feature’s the films BORKMANN’S POINT, MUNSTER’S CASE, and MARENO AND THE SILENCE.
Next up is the first season of ARNE DAHL, a Swedish series based on the books by Jan Arnald. If you love Nordic Noir, then this set will certainly be worth your money, as it contains 10 90 minute episodes. The show follows an elite team of detectives known as ‘A-group’.
VAN VEETEREN: FILMS VOL. 1 is released on 13th May with ARNE DAHL to follow on 7th June.
2013 has already seen the Nordic Noir label release “Unit One”, starring Mads Mikkelson, “Above The Street Below The Water”, starring Sidse Babett Knudsen, and “The Protectors” direct to UK fans via DVD and Digital Download; which have all been received exceptionally well.
“Subsequent to the success of the BBC FOUR Nordic dramas, which we acquired home entertainment rights to; Wallander, The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge we have now delved deeper into a rich back catalogue of equally rewarding crime dramas, stretching back a decade and more. And whilst many of these series’ will not see a British TV transmission the fan-base and appetite for more product of a similar ilk exists to an extent for us to bring them directly to the market”.
