FANS of Nordic Noir will delight in the latest gritty foreign-language thriller to come from Scandinavia – The Keeper of Lost Causes.

Anyone who was gripped by Lisbeth Salander’s exploits in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo or rapped by Thomas Vinterburg’s 2011 edge-of-your-seat thriller, The Hunt can enjoy the Mikkel Norgaard’s debut.

And Southampton’s independent cinema Harbour Lights Picturehouse is giving away a pair of tickets for this complex thriller when it opens next Friday (August 29) and a copy of the book it’s based on to a lucky Daily Echo reader.

Starring Nikolaj Lie Kaas, this is the first adaptation of the bestselling Department Q crime novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen. 

Carl Mørck (Kaas, The Killing) is a disgraced detective who is reassigned to a basement-bound job filing cold cases in the newly created Department Q.

He is also allocated a new assistant, Assad (Fares), a smart young cop. Always one to go against orders, Mørck throws them headlong into the mystery of a politician’s disappearance five years earlier. 

Believing the case to be unsolved, they embark on a dangerous journey that will lead them into the dark underworld of Copenhagen.

Preview tickets for an 11am screening on Sunday (August 24) are on sale now on a first-come, first-served basis. The film, rated 15, opens on Friday, August 29.
