Skiss till filmen om mig själv

A film about early separation, self-experienced loss and isolation, portrayed through my uncle Göran, who already at the age of seven was diagnosed as mentally ill and sent away. His absence fom my life, my fantasies about our similarities. My father’s disappearance, my absent mother who wholeheartedly worked with others in need.

Directed by Staffan Lamm, Skiss till filmen om mig själv leans on a strong ensemble — Gustav Jonsson, Göran Lamm — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1985.
