Nordic Noir in Black and White with Anita BJÖRK
25 October 2023
A successful television series in the pioneering era of the screen: viewers in Sweden are also crazy about crime dramas. THE DICE HAVE FALLED is the name of the successful show, whose scriptwriter comes up with increasingly complicated murders. But then the first real murder occurs, which is clearly based on the script of the series. Has the resourceful author now mutated into a real murderer?

Quite charming murder story in black and white and from Sweden, which, as a cinema film, also takes on the competition from the Flimmerkiste. Not earth-shattering, but highly watchable, what NETFLIX dug out of the Swedish archives.

It was directed by Rolf HUSBERG, who is also responsible for the Kalle Blomquist films of the fifties. The sharp-tongued acting veteran features the striking Anita BJÖRK, who is known from DAS UNSICHTBARE NETZ / NIGHT PEOPLE with Gregory PECK and Marianne KOCH. And the screenwriter is the well-known Swedish writer Kerstin EKMAN, who was a member of the Swedish Academy between 1978 and 1989 and co-awarded the Nobel Prizes for Literature during this time. In those years, for example, Elias CANETTI, Gabriel GARCIA MARQUEZ and Claude SIMON were honored.
