About Death of a Hero
To attract new members to the church, a bizarre event is organized where a young man is to fall from the church tower. The young man already has a large group of followers, and in the region, no one wants to miss this fascinating event. The film is based on Pär Lagerkvist's 100-year-old novella, which has never felt more relevant than today.
Directed by Karin Franz Körlof, Death of a Hero leans on a strong ensemble — Svante Malm, Hulda Lind Johansdottir, Weine Johansson — 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 drama titles of 2024.
