About Facklorna
Exciting miniseries about some dramatic events in a small Swedish town in the 1950s. Kråkan, 17, lives alone with his mother Siri. She dreams of his future as a classical pianist. He dreams of Elvis Presley and sex. When a series of brutal murders suddenly strikes the town, the apparent idyll is shattered...
Directed by Åke Sandgren, Facklorna leans on a strong ensemble — Julius Magnusson, Viveka Seldahl, Sven Wollter — 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 screen titles of 1991.
