Ondskan (Blu-ray)

OSCAR NOMINATION

BEST INTERNATIONAL FILM

GULDBAGGE: BEST

Erik lives in the grip of evil and violence, both at home and at school. When his violent tendencies lead to his expulsion, he is sent to the Stjärnsberg boarding school instead. This is his last chance to continue his studies and break with his former life. But at Stjärnsberg, everything gets even worse! Here, evil is systematic, disguised as what is called "peer education." A systematic and school-sanctioned oppression of the younger students. For Erik, every day becomes a struggle to survive without being broken...

Jan Guillou's partly autobiographical novel Ondskan (Evil) is one of the most widely read and beloved Swedish books of all time. It was just as successful as a film – here at home (1 million cinema-goers), internationally (sold to 130 countries) and at the Oscars (nominated for Best International Film). Andreas Wilson shines in his film debut and is joined by Gustaf Skarsgård and Kjell Bergqvist, among others.
