For almost 50 years, "Saturday Night Live" has been a reliable breeding ground for generations of comedians who later became stars. But you couldn't believe it in the beginning.

Chile's Oscar candidate "The Other One's Place" will not have a cinema premiere in Sweden but will go directly to Netflix. In director Maite Alberdi's drama, a young secretary at the court becomes obsessed with a famous writer who is on trial for murdering his lover.
