Slim Susie

About This Movie

Slim Susie is a quirky blend of comedy and crime that deftly captures the peculiarities of rural Sweden. Erik, the protagonist, is drawn into a world that’s anything but ordinary as he searches for his missing sister, Susie. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for a rich exploration of the oddball characters he encounters – the shy video store clerk and the morally dubious cop stand out, each adding to the film's offbeat charm. The atmosphere feels a bit surreal, painted with local color and dry humor, creating a unique viewing experience. Ulf Malmros crafts a narrative that intertwines family ties and the eccentricities of small-town life in a refreshing way, making it a distinctive watch for collectors interested in international cinema.
