Mikael Håfström is one of the big names in Swedish filmmaking, having been Oscars nominated, and provided lots of incredible dramas.
Long has the Freedom War been a long awaited subject to be adapted, and it has finally been done, in a thouroughly unique and masterful depiction.
I managed to catch this premiere on an earlier showing, as the film is actually released at the start of 2024, and was very pleased.
It is an incredible drama on massive scale, yet with some satire and dark comedy baked into it. A bit like a mix of Game of Thrones and a Tarantino film, or even a more pronounced bit of the dark humour often seen in Game of Thrones.
The stakes are high, script incredible, and the actors all do an incredible job at conveying it all, as one would expect from the acting elite of Sweden and other countries.
Overall, definitely a massive surprise, even though I was already anticipating this film - but it takes it ones step further. Highly recommended for any lover of film! A gruesome, real and all around darkly fun affair.
