Hägringen/Mirage


Peter Weiss is the director of the first movie today:

Hägringen (Mirage) - an experimental film about a young man who confronts the turbulent life in a big city with all kinds of visual and auditive distortions.
We can feel the pulse of the city, his alienation towards the social codes he doesn't understand, as beeing a 'foreigner' or a stranger in this particular social context.
A film I would recommend seeing. One of the more interesting experimental films of the time in Sweden.

Jörn Donner the controversial - at least seen as such in Sweden - Finnish filmmaker, filmpolitician is director number two this day.

His film: Att älska (To Love).

Louise (Harriet Andersson) a young Swedish widow is living with her mother and young son.
At the funeral she meets a man - a 'foreigner' as Fredrik (Zbigniew Cybulski) is described - she has met before.
He moves in with her and her mother and son. This creates problems as their engagement with each other bear consequences for her son and their common future.

Aurore has started at her practical vocational training place, Sture, in order to continue her practical training.
