Death is a Caress (Norwegian: Døden er et kjærtegn) is a 1950 Norwegian drama film starring Claus Wiese, Bjørg Riiser-Larsen and Ingolf Rogde. Based on a 1948 novel by Arne Moen, it was Edith Carlmar's directorial début, and the first Norwegian film directed by a woman. [3]
The film depicts the passionate and tempestuous liaison between mechanic Erik (Wiese) and society woman Sonja (Riiser-Larsen). The film uses cinematic shorthand to convey time and place, while concentrating on its protagonists' increasingly troubled relationship.
