Sasha Urban editorWhen it comes to acting roles, few compare to Noomi Rapace’s history of switching things up. Rapace is fluent in five languages, and the last two years have seen her acting in Icelandic (“Lamb”), Norwegian (“The Trip”), English (“The Secrets We Keep”), and even without any speaking at all, as her shape-shifting witch character does in the recent release “You Won’t Be Alone.”Now, Rapace is celebrating a homecoming with Adam Berg’s “Black Crab,” releasing on Netflix this Friday.
The film marks her return to Swedish cinema, more than 10 years after her groundbreaking success as Lisbeth in the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” trilogy.“Black Crab” takes place in a post-apocalyptic hellscape, where resources are scarce and an unexplained war seems to only get more unbearable. Rapace plays the impenetrable Caroline Eid, whose young daughter is stolen from her by insurgent forces at the start of the conflict.
Seven years later, she’s still searching for her. Eid and a ragtag group of civilian soldiers are sent on a mission to deliver a mysterious package, which they’re told will end the war once and for all.
But the journey is treacherous, and involves ice skating across a frozen sea, through enemy territory, in the dark and unseen. Not everyone will survive, but Eid is told her daughter is waiting for her on the other side, and she will do whatever it takes to complete the mission.Rapace, too, did whatever it took to accomplish the “brutal” challenge, including learning how to ice skate, nursing a broken nose and enduring extreme weather conditions as they shot on a real lake near Kiruna, in the north of Sweden.
