Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in total: 8 in the Oslo government-quarter bombing and 69, most of them teenagers, in the shooting on Utøya island. The film examines both the events and the long aftermath for survivors.
Is the film 22 July available on Netflix?
Yes — Paul Greengrass's 2018 film 22 July, the best-known dramatization of the attacks, was released as a Netflix original. Greengrass previously directed United 93, another real-time style account of a terrorist attack.
Is 22 July based on a book?
The Greengrass film drew heavily on 'One of Us: The Story of a Massacre in Norway' by Norwegian journalist Åsne Seierstad, published in 2015. It also uses the trial testimony and survivor accounts as source material.
What's the difference between 22 July and Utøya: July 22?
Two 2018 films cover the attacks: Erik Poppe's 'Utøya: July 22' stays in near-real-time with a fictional survivor on the island, while Greengrass's '22 July' covers the bombing, the island, the trial, and one survivor's recovery. Watching them together gives both the claustrophobic immediacy and the wider legal and social aftermath.
