Lockfågeln

About This Movie

Lockfågeln is a curious mix of dark humor and absurdity, typical of Wickman's style. The plot, revolving around the dying wishes of Per Henrik Pistolekors, creates a fundamentally chaotic yet engaging atmosphere. The pacing varies, lingering on moments that amplify the comedic tensions. Themes of familial obligation and moral ambiguity are woven throughout, all while trying to navigate Stockholm's high society. Performances, particularly from the leads, bring a quirky charm that keeps the viewer invested, even in its more bizarre turns. It's a film that doesn't shy away from its eccentricities, making it a distinctive piece in the landscape of 1970s Nordic cinema.
