CANNES ANNOUNCEMENT – SF Studios-owned production company Paradox will launch production on Bad Moon Rising, a new feature film based on the debut screenplay by celebrated Nobel-prize winning Norwegian author and playwright, Jon Fosse. The film will be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Erik Poppe(The Emigrants, A Thousand Times Goodnight), marking a significant collaboration between two major creative forces in Norwegian storytelling.
The filming of Bad Moon Rising is scheduled for fall 2025, with principal photography taking place on the dramatic west coast of Norway and in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden.
Synopsis
Told in Fosse’s hallmark minimalist style, the unsaid is conveyed through sparse dialogue, surprising shifts, and a brutally beautiful landscape. She and He find each other, become parents to a boy, and for a while, their happiness is complete. But her roots in their homeland run deeper than his, and the distance between them grows. Loneliness eats away, love fades, language slowly disintegrates, and in their house farthest out to sea in the west, the inexorable question is asked: – How much distance can love endure before it bursts?
“This is, paradoxically, an extraordinarily beautiful story about the dissolution of a relationship. Every project must explore new spaces I have not yet inhabited spaces unlike anything I have done before. A story that has not yet been told to an audience. Bad Moon Rising is a painful, visual, and powerful story about the fragility of love and the power of longing. This is the most demanding project I have ever embarked on. I am now mobilizing all my experience to create a seductive and gripping film that will invite you into Jon Fosse’s rich and dramatic universe—through the lens of my temperament,”
Erik Poppe, Director
