More middle class drama from Norén

One must agree that this is a very daring film, daring in the sense that it revolves around the life and times of four people in the upper middle class; a publisher, an author, a drama writer and a doctor at a mental ward. With unusual careers like this it is undeniable that the whole subject feels distant. Also, there is nothing unusual about the ever changing relations between these people, actually I leave the cinema with a feeling that I have seen all of this before. Of course, this is happy hunting grounds for Lars Norén who always seem to be writing about the emotional problems of today's middle class.
