Although quite typical for the era and origin, Från kyffen till Hälsobostäder leaves the modern audience wanting to press the fast-forward button. Long nonsense panoramic shots of cities of little interest in Sweden blended with dull acting makes this one of HSB:s less interesting cinematic projects. However, when it arrived it had a significant impact on Swedish standard of living specifically housing, large crowds were drawn into this hour-long movie. The political message is not well hidden and it seems that the director is not ashamed of making it extra clear even in sequences that need no further explanation. If you want to familiarize yourself with Swedish movies, this should not be your premier choice.
