That’s Norwegian for “White Witch.” And she’s the showstopper character in this very oddly staged Norwegian version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, even though she’s not exactly white. Actually, none of the winter scenes are.

Here she’s using a variant of the Vulcan Mind Meld on poor Edmund, who looks about to weep in his fur coat which is most assuredly authentic given the country it’s staged in. She’s a different sort of witch, more demented and matronly, dressed in funereal Victorian garb. The creatures behind her are what I guess to be a sort of Greek chorus. From the pics of the production they double as both Talking Beasts and the witch’s goon squad.
Overall a very Goth/Mad Max vibe.

The Pevensies — in furs — face off against the Beasts, or supernatural creatures, not sure which. It seems a lot of liberties were taken with the script. I don’t know about you, but it seems nightmare-inducing.
