Twelve years ago, his sarcastic thriller In Order of Disappearance
made Hans Petter Moland an internationally known representative of
Nordic noir. For his epic entrance into the San Sebastián Film
Festival’s main competition, Growth of the Soil, he adapted Knut
Hamsun’s Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same title into a
monumental drama of humans’ struggle with nature and love. On the
day of the premiere screening, the Norwegian director found time
for a conversation with Lidanoir about bringing an eternal piece of
Norwegian literature to the screen, shooting in the harsh
landscape, and giving the allegorical story a modern veneer.
