I skuggan av värmen

I have been trying to watch this movie for quite some time. I'm from the United States and trying to watch it online. Can anyone help me find it online so I can watch it or buy the movie? I would really appreciate anyone's help!

It's very sad when we get this little movie gems that people end up forgetting all about. Well, I Skuggan av värmen is an incredibly beautiful and powerful movie.

I'm not gonna talk much about the plot, i will say this though that the story is about a male cop who falls in love with a female drug addict.

The movie is set in Sweden, a perfect setting for a movie of this type since it's always dark outside.

By the end of the movie no problems have been solved, life is as miserable as it was at the beginning. I would really love to discuss the ending because it is very original, but i'm gonna keep this review spoiler-free.

I skuggan av värmen is a movie that's tragic, touching, romantic, powerful, and very realistic. An important movie that everyone should see.

I give it a 9/10, one of the best Swedish movies i've ever seen.

Scandinavian films are known to be more realistic and truer to life than most Hollywood manufacturing line, cookie cutter end products. Beata Gårdeler made a wonderful job of making viewers live through the rollercoaster of banality, love, boredom, pain, loss, joy, struggle, faux redemption, and ultimately, hope for true redemption and new beginnings.

Malin Crépin was brilliant as Eva. I am not sure if she was trained in Method acting but Konstantin Stanislavski, Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg would have been proud. She is just a gem to be cherished not just in one lifetime. I hope she has more movies in future.

The support cast led by the ever versatile Joel Kinnaman highlights the talent of scandinavian actors. He too, was brilliant. This film, even though early in his career, showed that he can do serious and emotionally taxing roles. His range is truly admirable. No surprise that he is now a star.

This film is up there among the best from Scandinavia... do not miss.
