Kleptomania

Sture has not spoken to another human for so long that he has become mute. He lives a lonely and boxed-in life with no sustenance, getting his only thrills from playing bingo and stealing chocolates from the grocery store. One day the routines are broken when he catches a young shoplifter on his territory.

Directed by Daniel Wirtberg, Kleptomania leans on a strong ensemble — Sven Westerdahl, Fabián Ríos, Margit Eklund — 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 2006.
