Copenhagen, November 13th 2025
TrustNordisk is proud to announce that we have picked up the international sales rights for acclaimed director Petter Næss’s political satire NO COMMENT.
NO COMMENT will celebrate its international premiere at the 29th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival where the film has been selected for and will screen as part of the Official Selection – Competition programme next week.
“We are happy to reunite with both talented director Petter Næss and production company Maipo on this satirical comedy-drama and can’t wait to present NO COMMENT to international audiences”, says Susan Wendt, Managing Director at TrustNordisk.
Starring Laila Goody (STATE OF HAPPINESS), Pia Tjelta (DON’T CALL ME MAMA, BLIND SPOT) and Anders Baasmo (KON-TIKI, LA PALMA, THE ARCTIC CONVOY), NO COMMENT is a sharp, political satire about power, cover ups and chaos – where spin rules and everything spirals once things start to go south.
In NO COMMENT, Prime Minister Alma Solvik learns that her husband has been caught red-handed in a stock market scandal. Accused of insider trading and conflicts of interest, Sondre becomes the perfect scapegoat in a high-stakes political circus. With her embattled spin doctor Karianne Moen by her side, Alma orchestrates a bold strategy to protect her and her party’s reputation.
Since director Petter Næss came to international attention with the feature film ELLING, which earned him a nomination for the Academy Awards® in the Best Foreign Language Film-category, he has directed a large number of feature films and series - and has most recently worked as conceptual director on the series STATE OF HAPPINESS and as director of the feature NOTHING TO LAUGH ABOUT.
NO COMMENT is Petter Næss’ 11th feature film.
NO COMMENT premiered domestically in August this year to great reviews and audience acclaim.
NO COMMENT is written by Ståle Stein Berg, directed by Petter Næss and produced by Anne Bergseng, Cornelia Boysen and Synnøve Hørsdal for Maipo Film in co-production with Oslo FilmFond and with support from The Norwegian Film Institute. Nordic distribution through Nordisk Film Distribution, TrustNordisk handles international sales.
