Filip & Fredrik success

A top movie. The book was ok but the movie was faboulos. And I have never seen Helena Bergström so good. The movie nearly overflows with great acting parts. The best Swedish movie in years.

Not the same as the book

Film based from the book with the same name. A true (tragic) lifestory of Hasse P. Good acting by Persbrandt and Lindström Bolmgren who has the correct swedish accent for the specific area. The film was good but not better than the book. The book has a way better ending a couple of months after the world record which you cannot predict. Also I think the book has more comedy and tons of more details than the film. Overall a good job especially with 80's feel and nostalgia.

nice

In the first part, it seems unrealistic, improvised and just boring. The second half gives the touching moral lesson. Not an impressive film but just a nice one. About fame - not the good one- , about a town and about a man too easz to define him as looser. And his idea, changing more. Simple and touching. That is all.

Trivia
Robert Gustafsson was originally cast as Hasse P, but dropped out due to dissatisfaction with the script. His replacement, Mikael Persbrandt claimed that as far as he was concerned, the script was more than fully satisfactory.
