Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay that compares 1997\u2019s Insomnia and Christopher Nolan\u2019s 2002 remake.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Since the Nordic Noir adaptation boom of the 2010s, it\u2019s been kind of a given that Scandinavian thrillers are a shoo-in as Hollywood adaptation source material. While <em>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo\u00a0<\/em>is the most obvious example, Hollywood can\u2019t keep its sun-kissed hands out of the Nordic thriller section even to this day. There was just <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/the_guilty_2021\">a remake of <strong><em>Den skyldige<\/em><\/strong> starring Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a> at TIFF last year.<\/p>\n<p>But long before Hollywood-ized Nordic thrillers flooded our streaming services, we had\u00a0<strong><em>Insomnia<\/em><\/strong>. Adapting Erik Skjoldbj\u00e6rg\u2019s 1997 film debut of the same name in 2002, Christopher Nolan (hot off <em>Memento<\/em>) brought the twisty, midnight sun-set thriller to American audiences. The film had big Hollywood A-listers (<strong>Al Pacino<\/strong>! Robin Williams! Hilary Swank!), and it is, as the video essay below notes, popularly considered a \u201clesser\u201d Nolan film.<\/p>\n<p>Both\u00a0<em>Insomnia<\/em>s begin with the same premise. We follow an anti-hero cop as they investigate the brutal murder of a young teen, thought to be the latest victim of a seasoned killer. Meanwhile, our protagonist (played by <strong>Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd<\/strong> in the 1997 original and Pacino in the 2002 remake) struggles with the twists and turns of the case, his personal demons, and the hellish realities of working in a part of the world flooded with constant sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>The following video essay sets out to compare the two films. Particularly with a mind to the changes Nolan and screenwriter Hillary Seitz made to the source material. Enjoy, and for the love of whatever Nordic god you please, go watch the 1997 original. It\u2019s very good.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CChristopher_Nolans_Insomnia_Original_vs_Remake%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cChristopher Nolan\u2019s Insomnia | Original vs. Remake\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Christopher Nolan remade Insomnia\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JFkjE2ZKQIw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This video comparing the original <em>Insomnia <\/em>and its remake comes from the fine folks over at <strong><em>Little White Lies<\/em><\/strong>.
