Today – Tomorrow
Denis Lavant delivers a wonderfully physical performance in John Skoog’s beautiful and inventive story of community and obsession.
Drama • Understated • Edgy
At the height of the Cold War, Swedish farmhand Karl-Göran Persson obsessively fortifies his house into a community haven from what appears to be an imminent global conflict.
With Ita Zbroniec-Zajt’s extraordinary black and white cinematography and inspired by true events, artist-filmmaker Skoog poetically reimagines the drama of one man’s obsession against the undulating rhythms and beauty of rural day-to-day life.
