BLOWFLY PARK

BLOWFLY PARK (FLUGPARKEN), 2014

Sweden | DCP, Color, 96’ | Swedish

Director:Jens Östberg

Cast: Sverrir Gudnason, Leonard Terfelt, Malin Buska

After returning from Thessaloniki International Film Festival awarded with the “Best Male Performance” in 2014, Sverrir Gudnason plays the part of Kristian, a once talented hockey player. One evening, Kristian drops off his friend Alex at his house but Alex disappears that night. Meanwhile, Kristian starts acting increasingly aggressive and irrational and gets carried away with fixing the lives of Alex’s son Elias and his wife Diana. After finding out about the death of his old friend Alex, with whom he spent most of his life, Kristian begins to take over his friend’s family life as if it is the natural thing to do. The effect of this psychological drama, in which the line between victim and offender becomes blurred, is heightened by the distressing soundtrack.
