Rena rama sanningen

About This Movie

Rena rama sanningen is a curious blend of comedy and social commentary from 1939. Bertil Dahl’s bold move to speak only the truth for a day spirals into chaos, as the white lies that grease social interactions begin to unravel. The film has this charmingly chaotic atmosphere, really drawing you into the absurdity of his colleagues' reactions. You can feel the tension build — the pacing keeps it lively. The performances have a kind of earnestness that feels genuine, even if the humor sometimes feels a tad dated. It’s fascinating how it reflects on honesty and societal norms, making you think about the little lies we all tell. Quite a distinctive piece in the comedy genre, for sure.

Rena rama sanningen remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, with original prints being hard to come by. It's often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the era, but there's a growing interest among those who appreciate early Swedish cinema and its quirks. Various formats have popped up over the years, but the availability is spotty at best, making even standard versions a sought-after find for collectors who enjoy its unique take on truth and deception.
