From time to time Hollywood mines European film for
material. Two Norwegian films were remade in the US
in the 90s and early 00s. One, Christopher Nolan's
Insomnia, turned out quite a good Hollywood thriller;
the other, Jim Wilson's Head Above Water, a
forgettable movie-of-the-week. Ida Jahr attempts in
this book, through analyzing the changes made to the
Norwegian originals, to find out what Nolan did right
and what Wilson did wrong.

Ida Jahr currently lectures in English at Oslo University
College, Norway. She has also taught students of North American
Studies at Telemark University College, and at the University of
Oslo, where she completed her MA in 2005. She is soon to start a
PhD project at Freie Universität in Berlin, Germany.
