About When the Devil Holds the Candle
A party ends in horror as a teenage girl is shot by her boyfriend. Friends Zipp and Andreas flee from the scene, apparently just innocent witnesses to the crime. A lonely middle-aged woman named Irma is receiving mysterious phone calls at night. Two seemingly different stories, but soon their paths will cross and it can only end in tragedy - as the Devil holds the light.
Directed by Eva Isaksen, When the Devil Holds the Candle leans on a strong ensemble — Bjørn Sundquist, Christian Skolmen, Jorunn Kjellsby — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2002.
