Renate Reinsve's Haunting Performance in 'Handling the Undead' Explores Loss and Horror
Norwegian director Thea Hvistendahl's zombie movie "Handling the Undead," premiering at Sundance and to be released in the U.S. by Neon, subverts classic zombie tropes in a visually-charged chronicling of a hot summer's day in Oslo when the dead mysteriously come back to life. The film, based on a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, focuses on three parallel storylines of grief and loss, featuring stars Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie. Reinsve, known for her role in "The Worst Person in the World," portrays a grieving mother in the film, which explores themes of hope and confusion. The director's stylistic choice of a toned down, dialogue-light genre film was inspired by her desire to create a cinematic experience, and the makeup and prop design aimed for realistic depictions of the undead. Despite the buzz surrounding the reunion of Reinsve and Danielsen Lie, they do not share a scene in the film, but their collaboration was secured before the success of "The Worst Person in the World." Reinsve, with multiple projects in the pipeline, hopes audiences will connect with her character in "Handling the Undead" as they did with her previous roles.
