An extraordinary era in Swedish history, a virtual cavalcade of narrow-mindedness, dirty business, ideological stupidity and abuse of power.

I’VE SEEN FILMS 2010 International Film Festival Ebbe The Movie Ebbe The Movie FIlm notes Ebbe Clarsson is the enigmatic character in this documentary that recounts his short earthly life: a life so intense that a beautiful film can be made of it. Carlsson (1947-1992) was a publisher/ journalist/private investigator who had a long career as co-worker and friend to many Swedish Social Democratic top-politicians, including Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was murdered at the beginning of 1986 by an unknown killer. For years, Ebbe lived in Palme’s shadow, with various responsibilities, but following the murder, he began searching in an attempt to discover the truth. Much criticism and many doubts were raised by public opinion since people were not accustomed to dealing with public figures that were openly homosexual. Carlsson was a very charismatic and manipulating person. He could get away with things also in very critical situations. Eventually, it cost the Minister for Justice, the head of the Swedish Security Service and the National Police Commissionaire their jobs and perhaps his interferences shattered in the end the investigation about Olof Palme’s assassination. This documentary, using evidence supplied by those ‘who knew him well’, is very well constructed and is built on interviews with people who were involved in the scandal and on authentic clips from TV news. Apart from the technical quality, we like Karin Af Klintberg and Jane Magnusson’s ability to give a very detailed portrait of that time-frame in Sweden. It is a Sweden that, possibly due to its leaden-sky climate, is the perfect backdrop for a story that reveals plotting, solitude, and State’s enemies who are still unknown. Indeed, Ebbe’s battle to find the culprit did not succeed and what remains of it, almost 20 years after his death, is the story of a man who created a stir for his sexual choices, rather than for the purpose of his actions. Carlsson died from AIDS at the hospital. In this film it is shown how, even on his death-bed, he could find the strength to talk with the press. A sort of present-time Rashomon, Ebbe’s biography is an intricate puzzle; a puzzle that even now is difficult to solve and to grasp in its definitive meaning. 35
