När Mörkret Faller


När Mörkret Faller (2006) When Darkness Falls, directed by one of Sweden's greatest directors, Anders Nilsson is a dark but also an uplifting film due to the take charge of the oppressed. It's a story of revenge but not in the conventional way. The movie deals with subject matter as dark as domestic abuse, violence at the nightclub scene, arranged marriage and the culture of "honor killings". I believe this to be Anders best work ever after such gems as Noll Tolerans, Livvakterna and Tredje Vågen. Highly recommended, five out of five stars in my book. Great acting by Lia Boysen and Per Graffman.
