Maybe the Best Swedish film ever, 4 August 2000
10/10
Author: stefan.appelgren from Stockholm, Sweden

The two main actors (Hans Alfredsson and Stellan Skarsgård) make top performances in this movie about Evil personalized. It´s also a movie about Sweden in the late 30´s with poverty and pre-war nazism close at hand.
