About This Movie

Försök inte med mej... is a curious little comedy that meanders through the quirks of the art world. Björn Norell, our earnest protagonist, finds himself in a pickle after losing a vital Buddha statue as he navigates through a labyrinth of misadventures. The film's pacing feels leisurely, almost nostalgic, capturing that post-war charm. The interactions between Norell and Ulla, the art dealer's daughter, lend a delightful tension that plays into the central theme of obsession and redemption. It's distinctive in its quaintness and those practical effects sprinkled throughout make it a visual treat for any collector. You get a sense of the era, and there's something refreshing about its simplicity.

Försök inte med mej... has seen limited releases over the years, making physical copies somewhat of a rarity. The film's unique blend of comedy and its vintage charm appeals to niche collectors who appreciate lesser-known gems from the 1940s. While not widely discussed, it's definitely on the radar for those passionate about Swedish cinema. If you come across this one, it's worth examining, as it encapsulates a certain spirit of its time that is hard to find these days.
