Karl Júlíusson (also known as Kalle Juliusson, Kalli Juliusson, Karl K. Juliusson and Karl Juliusson) is an Icelandic-born film production and costume designer who resides in Norway.[1]
Júlíusson got his start in film production in the classic Viking film When the Raven Flies. In the early 80's, Karl Júlíusson ran a leather workshop where he produced and sold custom made leather goods. Director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson had seen a bag made by Júlíusson and visited the shop and convinced him to make costumes for the film. The two ended up making 5 films together. Júlíusson is best known for his production designs for filmmaker Lars Von Trier (Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark) and director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, , and The Weight of Water), both of whom he frequently collaborates with.[2] [3]
Júlíusson is the winner of the 2008 Norwegian Amanda award for his art direction on The Kautokeino Rebellion which was directed by Nils Gaup, and which was the most successful domestic film in Norway in 2008.[4]
