Detective Inspector Joona Linna asks for his immediate help in treating an unconscious patient suffering from acute trauma. He hopes that Erik will be able to communicate with the young boy through hypnosis, enabling the police to question him. They hope to find out who so brutally murdered his parents and younger sister, in order to track down and save his older sister before it is too late. But it has been ten years since Erik last practised hypnosis, and he has promised never to do it again. Painful memories from that time make their presence felt, contributing to his decision not to help the police. When Erik finally allows himself to be persuaded, it is as if the floodgates have been opened to a torrent of unforeseen happenings. Without warning, this violent and inexplicable course of events impacts with full force on Erik’s life. His son disappears, and to have a chance of saving his life, Erik has to confront himself with the past, with the times when his research-work was laid in ruins and his marriage seemed on the verge of collapsing. Director’s The Hypnotist is a character-driven thriller that really attracted my interest. I have always been wanting to try my hand at the thriller genre, but not Statement many opportunities to do that have opened up for me in the US. It is not what people expect from me, so I was never really considered for them. Mattias Edwall Though I may have focused on gentler fare in the past, I will not shy away from the violent aspects of this story. I want to tell it in a real and honest way, and as always I want to see to it that the characters come alive-performances are always important to me. Having spent my first 40 years in Stockholm, I know it quite well and hope to make it a moody backdrop to the story, trying to pay attention to detail and the LASSE HALLSTRÖM atmosphere of a Stockholm winter. I have always been interested in stories that are genre crossovers. After decades of international successes with films such as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, Something The drama comedy is a genre mix that I have felt very to Talk About, The Cider House Rules, Chocolat, comfortable with, and hopefully adding the thriller An Unfinished Life, Casanova, The Hoax, Dear element won't feel foreign to me.

Who is Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril, both established writers with several books published, teamed up professionally for the first time to write The Hypnotist. Lars Kepler? The pseudonym Lars Kepler allowed them to separate their earlier, independent work, from this new common authorship. As they wanted to be judged without prejudice, they decided to submit the manuscript to the publisher anonymously. Five days later the publisher, Albert Bonniers, knew they had a nail-biting best-seller in the vein of Stieg Larsson's novels. Still the Ahndorils did not want to reveal their true identity. With successful separate careers, and a well Anna-Lena Ahlström Anna-Lena functioning life together with their three children, they felt no need to come clean. As expected, the media launched a huge investigation, and it did not take long before one of Sweden's largest tabloids paid them a visit at their summer house, urging them to confess that they Our intention was always to remain had written one of the most widely read European a secret. Not even our own children books of 2010. knew that we were Lars Kepler. Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril One month after the authors submitted the manuscript to the publisher, The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler, was at the centre of heated auctions at the The Kepler London international book fair, involving some of the world's leading crime publishers. The novel was sold to Crime Novels 25 countries within just a few weeks of the fair, and has now been translated into 36 languages, published in over 40 countries altogether.

  • Before Night Falls
    Before Night Falls Dir: Julian Schnabel, 2000 A review by A. Mary Murphy, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada There are two remarkable things about Before Night Falls, based on Reinaldo Arenas's homonymous memoir, and one remarkable reason for them. First, director Julian Schnabel maintains a physically-draining tension throughout much of the film; and second, he grants a centrality to writing that Arenas himself demands. He is able to accomplish these things because his Arenas is Javier Bardem. The foreknowledge that this is a film about a man in Castro's Cuba, and a man in prison there for a time, prepares an audience for explicit tortures that never come. The expectation persists, as it must have for the imprisoned and persecuted man, so that the emotional tension experienced by the audience provides a tiny entry into the overpowering and relentless tension of daily life for Arenas and everyone else who is not a perfect fit for the Revolutionary mold. In the midst of this the writer finds refuge in his writing. Before Night Falls is the story of a writer who has been persecuted even for being a writer, never mind for what he wrote or how he lived, and who writes regardless of the risks and costs. In the childhood backgrounding segment of the film, Schnabel clearly establishes this foundation by showing a grandfather who is so opposed to having a poet in his house that he relocates the family in order to remove young Reinaldo from the influence of a teacher who dares to speak of the boy's gift.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.
