Television rating|Kipupiste, which tells about the infamous prison drama, leaves a lot of uncomfortable questions in the air.
Finns there is a lot to learn from the other Nordic countries, but the most important thing is courage. It can also be seen in TV dramas.
Swedish miniseries Pain point twist the knife in the wound. There is in the background this case: Sweden’s most acclaimed playwright Lars Norén took a conscious risk and cooperated with three prisoners.
The goal was to create a performance where the playwright has a dialogue with the prisoners. First it turned out that two of them confessed to be National Socialists, and finally the project ended in disaster, the murder of the policemen, in which one of the prisoners was involved.
Year was 1999, and this has been discussed many times in Sweden. The fictional miniseries is the latest version, perhaps period. It is based on both a non-fiction book and a documentary, which is also filmed in the series.
Sanna Lenkenin directing and Pelle Rådström’s the most interesting – and bravest – feature of the scripted series is that a Finnish theater producer has been chosen as the main character Father StenbergNorén’s credit partner.
Through Stenberg, the series becomes a story about the special freedoms of an artistic genius. Norén takes no responsibility for anything and runs away to Stockholm, doesn’t even answer the phone. Isa Stenberg does the dirty work for him until he can’t take it anymore.
Blue-eyedness backfires. Isa Stenberg (Maria Sid) is shocked to discover that Tony Olsson (Martin Nick Alexandersson) has been secretly getting Nazi tattoos before the theater performance.
Series has been made thoughtfully, in a documentary-style reduction and without underlining, because the course of events speaks for itself. There could still be more tension at the beginning, but there is even more in the final period when we get to the actual tour.
Finally, we also see the murders of police officers, narrated without embellishment.
Norén is not to be blamed either. It is enough to see the reactions of the prisoners, young men, to his disappearance. You could say rejection. David Dencik brilliantly portrays the artist’s egotistical coldness.
“You have so many unique experiences,” Norén flatters the prisoners at the beginning of the project. She claims to be worried about being marginalized and stigmatized, but still leaves the men to their own devices, with the Nazi label.
Series leaves a lot of uncomfortable questions in the air: Can art ever have a dialogue with the extreme right? What is the cultural elite really ready to accept from art? Behind every artistic genius is a woman who takes care of both meals and care?
And of course in the end: what is the responsibility of art?
However, the police and the criminal service are equally avoiding it. For some reason, the series does not take into account the role of Stockholm’s Riksteatern at all.
Maria Sid (left) is wonderful as Isa Stenberg. Cecilia Milocco also does a successful role as Birgitta Göransson, a dissident from the criminal care system.
Maria Sidilli has a wonderful role as Isa Stenberg. However, the real core of the series is Tony Olssonthe most dangerous of the prisoners, which Martin Nick Alexandersson acting with frightening power. Two other prisoners are acting Einar-Hugo Strömberg and Linus Gustafsson are less experienced but excellent finds too.
A good supporting role is a dissident from criminal care Birgitta Göransson (Cecilia Milocco). He sees that the project is going in the wrong direction.
