Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The scene in which DD enters a huge room full of computers, and talks to a guy who plays a computer game called "Storm", was shot in November 2004 on the world's largest computer festival, "Dreamhack", arranged every year in Sweden with over 6000 participants. Director Björn Stein thought that the festival would act as a cool and spectacular environment that would fit perfectly into the film. more

Psychologically emotional drama, cleverly disguised as fantasy/sci-fi., 4 March 2006
6/10
Author: ozjeppe (ozjeppe@passagen.se) from Jakobsberg, Sweden

Forget about any sci-fi hype or the "world is at stake"- story on a grand scale, as I personally sensed this would be. Sure, we have many urban fantasy elements with its comic book- flirts, stylistics and tongue-in-cheek-cheesy characters (And so-so effects). But these are just peripheral disguises. Filmmakers Mårlind/Stein actually open the emotional window on a psychologically personal level here, as the main core of the film unfolds. So the strongest reason to enjoy this movie is not its action or thriller bits. It's the moody, harrowing midsection of DD facing his childhood demons of guilt in his hometown. It's an unforgettable and visually stunning nightmare.

This ambitious film-making team created something great with the formidable TV-series "De drabbade" a few years back. Let's hope they still have more to come within the Swedish cinema industry- it's much needed!
