nonne 'nonne' by Thor Brenne

Promonews - 12th June 2025

Norwegian director Thor Brenne returns to music projects with a captivating hybrid - part live video, part mini-doc - for his compatriots nonne. 

The film kicks off with the two bandmembers announcing they've been busy creating a lot of new music and are ready to play more live shows. A Table of Contents then tells the viewer what to expect next before jumping into live show excerpts presenting three of the duo's songs - when the band played at industry festival Northern Expo last year - but these abruptly interrupted by off-screen interview segments.

Brenne is inventive in how cuts between live performance and the interviews throughout the film. For example, while Nonne explain the band name, the video shifts away from the live segments to show the band in a rehearsal environment and what appears to be a photoshoot, before jumping back into the live setting again.

The unconventional approach suits both the music and the band's aesthetic - even if the abrupt interruptions of the songs might just make some record executives shake their heads. In fact, the execution and editing of a well-crafted concept makes this highly entertaining and engaging.
