FILM 2/8

"Love lies bleeding"

Doping, explicit lesbian sex, and brutal death when the hyped indie film company A24 and director Rose Glass return with an action thriller about female bodybuilders around 1989. Glass broke through with the religious horror film "Saint Maud" and has got the buzz going again in the film world for this erotic revenge story.

"Trap"

Twist king M Night Shyamalan is back with a "Lamb silent at a Taylor Swift concert". A film about a serial killer who realizes that the police have set a trap for him. Everything takes place at a concert with the fictional pop star Lady Raven, which the killer attends with his daughter. The old teenage idol Josh Hartnett seems to have succeeded in his transformation into an unpleasant sociopath.

"Divine service"

Linus Wahlgren plays the priest Theodor whose terminally ill wife miraculously recovers, thanks to Theodor's new bloody way of approaching God. A podcaster who hunts religious sects is soon on the priest's trail, and questions how credible his miracles really are.

"Do not expect too much of the end of the world"

Romania's Oscars bid is a black comedy that takes place during a hectic day in Bucharest. The main character Angela rushes around to film a safety film for a multinational company, with tragicomic complications as a result. The film has been praised at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won the grand jury prize.

TV/STREAMING

"The Responder" season 2 (30/7 SVT and SVT Play)

Martin Freeman returns in the role of police constable Chris Carson on the night shift in Liverpool. When he becomes suspected of corruption, his problems connected to the underworld become even worse.

"The caped crusader" (1/8 Prime video)

There are many animated Batman series out there, but "The caped crusader" has a really professional team behind the scenes that promises good things. With high-profile names like JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, and respected comic book writers like Ed Brubaker in key positions.

"A good girl's guide to murder" (1/8, Netflix)

British youth detective based on the best-selling book by Holly Jackson. It's about the free-thinking Pip Fitz-Amobi who starts questioning a murder where a young girl was murdered by her boyfriend. Something about the case doesn't add up, maybe the real killer is still out there?
