To Love Someone Den man älskar
|
|
With Danish dramas such as Flies on the Wall and the Dogme film Truly Human under his belt, we like to consider Åke Sandgren a Danish director here in Denmark. But he is actually Swedish, and in To Love Someone he is back in his home country, working together with a first-class acting trio at the centre of an intense psychological drama. Kim Fupz Aakeson has written the screenplay for this emotionally charged triangle drama, where a woman, Lena (Sofia Ledarp), is caught between two men. Lena was previously madly in love with Hannes (Jonas Karlsson), but his violent disposition put an end to their love. This happened on the day when he hit her so many times that she almost didn’t recover. While Hannes has gone through therapy in prison, the mentally scarred Lena has got together with the serene Alf (Rolf Lassgård). But she feels far from safe, as Hannes is about to be released. She still has the emergency number stored on her mobile, even though Hannes has been barred from seeking her out. However, it starts to look as if it is Lena who is attracted towards Hannes. Will he repent? Has he changed? How will they get on with their lives? In a thought-provoking way, this suspense-filled story investigates Lena and Hannes’s problematic relationship, to which Alf is tempted to react violently, when Lena is inclined to choose in favour of Hanne’s and possibly a dangerous relationship.
Åke Sandgren
Born 1955 in Umeå, Sweden, but now lives in Denmark. He studied film and philosophy in Sweden and was trained at the Danish Film School, graduating in 1982. He is known for his youth films The Miracle in Valby (1987) and Beyond (2000). He has furthermore directed the Dogme film Truly Human (2001) and the thriller Flies on the Wall (2005).
Thursday the 27th the director Åke Sandgren will introduce the film and answer questions from the audience after the screening.
