From the late 1930s onwards, Sweden became a prolific producer of crime films increasingly characterised by the noir style that eventually found popularity all over the world in the post-war period.<\/p>\n

They featured some of Sweden\u2019s most recognisable stars in the likes of Ingrid Bergman and Eva Henning, and were made with the involvement of some of its greatest writers and directors, including Hasse Ekman, Gustaf Molander and even Ingmar Bergman.<\/p>\n

STOCKHOLM AFTER DARK: SWEDISH NOIR is strictly limited to 2,000 copies and exclusively presented in a hardbound slipcase with collector\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

\"Stockholm\"Stockholm<\/a> Stockholm After Dark: Swedish Noir (Eureka Entertainment)<\/p>\n

Five standout examples of Swedish noir are collected here: <\/p>\n

A Woman\u2019s Face \u2013 Ingrid Bergman stars as a disfigured blackmailer whose facial scarring has led her to become embittered and violent \u2013 until she is given an opportunity to change her ways.June Night \u2013 Bergman plays a woman who is shot by her lover and, following a trial, flees to Stockholm in the hope of starting a new life.While the Door was Locked \u2013 Based on a story concept by Ingmar Bergman, the film follows the residents of a single apartment block over one fateful night \u2013 a night that will end in tragedy.While the City Sleeps \u2013 A stark noir profiling a psychopathic young criminal as his gang of teen delinquents begins to fall apart.Hidden in the Fog \u2013 Eva Henning stars as a woman suspected of murdering her husband.<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s classic crime films bear all the hallmarks of film noir \u2013 expressionistic cinematography, chiaroscuro lighting, femme fatales, cops, criminals and doomed romance \u2013 but blend them with a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility, exploring their fascinating social and sexual themes with an unusual frankness.<\/p>\n
