Icelandic drama Systrabönd (Sisterhood) sees three women face up to a decades-old crime in a story about how people respond differently to guilt. Writer Jóhann Ævar Grímsson tells DQ about his aim to offer a fresh take on a familiar genre. As the lead writer of Icelandic neo-noir drama Stella Blomkvist, Jóhann Ævar Grímsson sought to upend Nordic noir with a super-stylised series featuring a lead character who is at once a detective, an unreliable narrator and a femme fatale. Filming on the second season of Stella Blomkvist is now in its final weeks, with Grímsson once again working on the scripts and pushing the lead character to the extremes of the genre.
