Breaking all Danish box office records, the Department Q series
follows in the tradition of the ever-popular “Nordic Noir”
thriller genre.
When a literal message in a bottle – scribed in blood and dated 8 years
earlier – washes up off the coast of Jutland, the haunted Carl Morck and his
good-natured assistant, Assad, are drawn into the investigation of a serial
killer intent on destroying faith as well as lives. The note leads Morck and
Assad to a veiled religious community, where the disappearances of children go
suspiciously unreported…
Starring the ever-captivating Nikolaj Lie Kaas (ANGELS AND DEMONS, THE
KILLING) and Fares Fares (ZERO DARK THIRTY), A CONSPIRACY OF FAITH is a
chilling addition to the Department Q series, which present perfect cinematic
renderings of Jussi Adler Olsen's blockbuster novels.
Critic Reviews:
- “By far the darkest of the Department Q stories… the closing scene
of Faith, beautifully blunt, ends it on the perfect note.” – New
York Times
- “Set in Scandinavia and featuring a sullen male protagonist,
it's violent, hard-boiled, and psychologically disturbing. Its antihero, a
clench-jawed police detective, also embodies a belief that individual goodness
might be enough to prevail.” – Chicago Reader
- “A Conspiracy of Faith” marks the darkest and most gripping screen
adaptation of the Jussi Adler-Olsen novels to date" – Los
Angeles Times
