| From the makers of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and best-selling author Jo Nesbø comes the new  Nordic  sensation,  political  suspense  thriller  Occupied  [Okkupert].  Currently  screening  on  Sky  Arts  as  its top rated programme, this action-packed hit drama arrives on Blu-ray and DVD next month courtesy of Dazzler  Media.  Set in the not so distant future where climate change has brought Europe to the brink of war, Henrik  Mestad (Lilyhammer) stars as environmentally friendly prime minister Jasper Berg. He has convinced  his  voters  that  the  best  way  to  tackle  climate  change  is  to  halt  all  oil  production  in  Norway,  sending  the country and the rest of the world into crisis.  Unable to ignore calls from the rest of the world to intervene, Russia, at the behest of the EU, stages a  'silk-glove'  invasion  –  to  secure  the  oil  for  the  rest  of  the  world.  They  have,  they  say,  every  intention  of retreating once this has been accomplished. But it’s not long before events unfold that threaten to  change everything. Based  on  an  idea  by  Jo  Nesbø  (Headhunters),  this  gripping,  multi-layered  10-part  series  examines  what  happens  to  a  nation  under  occupation,  and  explores  the  themes  of  loyalty  to  oneself,  one's  family and one's country. Also  starring  Vegar  Hoel  (Hansel  &  Gretel:  Witch  Hunters)  and  Ingeborga  Dapkunaite  (Mission:  Impossible),  Occupied  is  a  stylish  and  extremely  topical  drama  with  high  production  values,  that  has  continued to obtain impressive ratings including doubling Sky Arts channel average on its launch. 
 Occupied, Season 1 comes to UK Blu-ray and DVD on 21st March from Dazzler Media at the RRP of £34.99 for the 3-disc Blu-ray set and £29.99 for the 3-disc DVD set. No extra features have been listed. |
