KALLE BLOMKVIST - MASTERDETEKTIVEN LEVER FARLIGT (1996)
Director: Göran Carmback
Cinematographer: Peter Grönvall
A dull Swedish family adventure I stumbled across while tumbling down a YouTube rabbit hole, complete with proto-Harry Potter boy hero solving an alarmingly grown-up murder mystery.
Only on the continent, huh?
I wouldn’t recommend it, in fact I wish I could get the time back, but there are bizarre snatches of artistry in the editing and camera work, which I hope both crew members used on their showreels for more interesting work.
The film actually appears to be a regional cinema release, rather than a TV movie, which is shocking. Everyone onscreen looks as enthusiastic as the cast towards the end of a long-running drama series, with the pacing just as tired. Still, it provided some background foreign noise as I spaced-out in between hobby projects.
A faded comma in the history of cinema, for sure.
Do stay in touch, darlings.
Toodles!
