Opening Night Film ONLY: Max Manus
World War II Hero Gunner Sonsteby in attendance!

The film introduces its eponymous hero as he volunteers to fight alongside the Finnish forces in their battle against Russia, which is attempting to turn Finland into a protectorate. Shortly afterwards, his beloved Norway is invaded by Nazi Germany and quickly occupied.   Max Manus and a few friends start a small rebel cell, committing sabotage and distributing leaflets denouncing the Nazi presence. But their group is swiftly apprehended and Manus is captured, eventually escaping by jumping from a second-storey window. Made an instant legend for this feat, he's recruited by a larger pan-national resistance movement run out of London. Aksel Hennie, one of Norway's most versatile actors, delivers a magnificent performance as Manus. Initially, his Manus looks as if he'd be more comfortable on a farm, living a quiet life, but over time becomes increasingly feral. That said, Max Manus is also a thriller, and its detailed account of sabotage techniques is relayed with skill and relish â especially a sequence featuring an attack on a huge supply tanker in Oslo harbour. The strength of its passion and storytelling have helped make Max Manus Norway's biggest domestic hit in more than a decade. On these shores, the film is destined to be acclaimed for the vigour of its characters and the visceral impact of its narrative. (Toronto Int'l. Film Festival 2009)
