About Kanske en diktare
Filip works as a coat janitor at a restaurant; he is a dreamer who has failed in life and sees people as the clothes he has in his wardrobe. On one night, three guests enter the restaurant: the extensive Viding with his beautiful wife Jane, and the remorseless manager Kurtz. Viding, who owes Kurtz money, demands Jane be accommodating toward him. Filip watches as she pulls a gun.
Directed by Lorens Marmstedt, Kanske en diktare leans on a strong ensemble — Gösta Ekman, Karin Kavli, Gunnar Olsson — 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 1933.
