Tribadernas natt

About This Movie

Tribadernas natt is a fascinating dive into the tempestuous affair between August Strindberg and Siri von Essen. Set against the backdrop of a theatrical rehearsal in 1889, the film captures the tension and fervor of their relationship with a palpable intensity. The atmosphere is thick, almost claustrophobic, as the drama unfolds in intimate settings, and the performances feel raw and unfiltered, embodying the complexities of love and ambition. The pacing, while deliberate, allows for moments of reflection, drawing viewers into the emotional turmoil between the two characters. One can’t help but appreciate how the film weaves the personal with the artistic, making it a unique piece in the landscape of TV drama adaptations.

This film is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, often sought after for its unique portrayal of literary figures. It has appeared in various formats over the years, but availability can be hit or miss, making it a particular point of interest for those into Strindberg's life or adaptations of his work. The scarcity of quality prints adds to its allure, as does the curiosity surrounding the film's unknown director, leaving collectors eager to uncover more about its production history.
