One of the best films I have ever seen. The plot centers around a police officer who mistakenly kills his partner. While the plot is good, the cinematography is what makes it amazing. The colour filter starts changing after his partner is killed to emphasize the blues and whites, and the ambient soundtrack really gives a feel into the main character's state of mind. This is something I felt Nolan's remake lacked. The way the main character's mind starts to unravel, and amazing editing made this one of the best films I have seen.

Psychological drama about a seriously flawed Swedish detective who goes to Norway to investigate the homocide of a young girl. As the story continues we find out that that the detective and the killer are more alike than they think.

Too straightforward and uncluttered for my taste, this Norwegian detective thriller plays like a really surprising American movie that still features the same cops and the same plots, but dazzles with tone and atmosphere.

This is way better than the American one

Better acted than it's remake although lacking some of the cinematography of the latter it more than makes up for it in the acting. The plots are almost identical.

The original Insomnia. I watched the Al Pacino version a few years back and was really impressed. Somehow, this sullies the original which deserves credit in its own right.

Nice setting and pacing. Mysterious and dark undertone.

A truly haunting yet engrossing suspense film that features an incredible performance from Stellan Skarsgard as a guilt-ridden detective trying to solve a murder while covering up his own mistakes in the investigation.

Captures the hellish torments of white nights quite well, I think.
