Culture Minister Unfamiliar with Noted Directors Nolan and Widerberg

The Minister of Culture is not familiar with the directors Christopher Nolan, Bo Widerberg or Tomas Alfredson. This becomes clear when she is questioned in "The Prejudice Podcast". If I had guessed, I would have said that he is an actor, she says about Christopher Nolan.

Culture Minister Parisa Liljestrand (M) ended up in hot water in 2022 when she, in an SVT program, believed that the well-known film director Ruben Östlund was an author.

In a new "Fördomspodden" interview with the Culture Minister, podcast profile Emil Persson asks three times whether the directors Bo Widerberg, Christopher Nolan, and Tomas Alfredson are directors or authors.

Do you have to know who everyone is all the time? I actually don't think so. I work on the citizens' assignment, it doesn't mean I need to know who's who and who all have been active in the cultural world, Liljestrand says in the interview.
