About This Movie

Pälsen offers a curious blend of comedy and drama, wrapped in the unique presentation of a silent film. It’s based on a rejected script by Hjalmar Söderberg, which gives it an intriguing historical context. The story follows Doctor Henck, who borrows a fur coat from a friend, leading to a strange yet uplifting transformation in his day. The piano soundtrack really enhances the atmosphere, echoing the silent film style while setting the tone for Henck’s journey. The performances, while silent, convey a lot through expressions and movements, adding a layer of depth that’s quite engaging. It’s a fascinating piece that showcases the charm of the 1960s TV movie format and the artistic choices made to revive a script from a different era.
