It´s a social realistic film. We follow some kids in the late teens, some in school and some at work. There is not really a story or the story isn't that important. Boy meets girl meets no acceptance from home so they run away. They team up with Bronco Bullfrog who has escaped from borstal. The best thing about the film is that we can follow normal working class kids in East End in London during the era of the Skinheads. So we get a non political view from skinheads, even if you may call them Suedeheads or whatever subcategory you like. There is no actors in the film, everybody is handpicked from the streets. The "bad" acting helps the real feeling. But you could always asked more from the director regarding the tightness of the film. I rated it 7 of 10.
Hasse Ekman was only 27 when he made this thrilling drama, and it is a good work for a man that age. You will recognize Stig Järrels Character if you have watched "Hets" but he´s not all the same as in his later roll. The film takes part on a boarding school and its interesting just to see how things were in the 40:s. The drama starts when Stig Järrels Characters mother dies and he starts in a new school were nobody knew what secrets he bares, and I can't tell you what it is, can I. But I can tell you that the actors are very good (maybe Ekman shouldn't direct himself) and the film i really thrilling and intense. It is not as good as "Hets", not many films are but you will have to compare them. I gave "Hets" 10 points and this 8.
This is absolutely not Schindler's list (meaning this is good). In a occupied nameless country a girl becomes indirectly involved in a terror attack. She try to help jews to escape from the land witch is soon to be very hot. She is also involved with a nazi that she had met before the war, but this story about her inner conflict is not that interesting but takes a lot of time. The girl performed by Inga Tidblad is excellent and so is also her working partner Stig Järrel. The story is based on a book "attentat i Paris" by Marika Steirnstedt.
