“Pernilla August on the role in the new film”
“”It made me sometimes in a fucking bad mood””
“First hit film ”A man called Ove”. Now have yet another book by Fredrik Backman became a film.”
“Pernilla August, 60, is doing the lead role and Tuva Novotny, 39, has directed ”Britt-Marie was here”.”
” It’s difficult with the characters that go into one. Britt-Marie made me sometimes in a fucking bad mood, ” says Pernilla.”
“Hannes Holm’s adaptation of Fredrik backman’s genombrottsroman became a phenomenal success and oscar nominated. A movie about a 59-year-old surgubbe. ”Britt-Marie was here” is about a 63-year-old aunt with städmani. The series sells quite shamelessly, almost in the movie as a sequel.”
“– There is nothing negative to be spoken along with a movie that sold two million tickets, many of which have a relationship to and which is based on a book by the same author. Since then, it has been important for us to create a custom dna, ” says Tuva Novotny.”
“She ”came on board” first.”
” They wanted a woman, I thought that was good. They had seen the episode I directed of the tv-series ”Day ” and ”Lilyhammer”.”
“– I had not read the book, but felt to Fredrik Backman, which phenomenon he had become. I quickly got an instant love to make a film about a woman who is 60+.”
“Britt-Marie has been a housewife for 40 years. Cleaned and polished in the home. When she understands that her husband (Peter Haber) has a mistress, and drags her off to a new town and gets a job as a youth leader and soccer coach for a youth team. Soon courted her by a police officer (Anders Mossling)…”
“of course Britt-Marie rather dull?”
“– Yes, God how I longed to play a boring human being, joking Pernilla August, laughs and continues:”
“– Nah, I think not. She has just put the lid on the whole of their lives. She is sad, turned off, a little bitter. It was an exciting challenge to find the balance and make a man out of something that could easily be a caricature. The lady with the hat.”
“– Except that none of us comprehends us at football, it’s probably the role I feel, again to me at least. But it was hard to live with Britt-Marie in two months. Her mood went into me. She made me in a fucking bad mood. I said to the whole crew that I’m cranky, so it is not I, Pernilla, but Britt-Marie, who never smiles.”
“Tuva, why did you have the right Pernilla August in the role?”
“– For me was the story never just a comedy, it is a little deeper than that. Since it fits to put an actress of the finest rank in a slightly new context. You have to really believe and feel for her. An important premise is to never laugh at her, but with her.”
“the Film hårdlanseras in about 300 cinemas. The exact opposite of Tuva Novotnys first film as a director, ”Blind spot”, which has just been released on the streamingtjänsterna and just shown on the cinema at the Gothenburg film festival, with the premiere on Saturday.”
“– Yes, I’m crazy acidic it is not getting proper theatrical release in Sweden. Especially when it’s a film that scored so well received and seen by 30-40, 000 in the cinema in Norway.”
“the Film depicts the hour after that a Norwegian family’s teenage daughter tried to commit suicide. A strong and disturbing story.”
“– It’s about blindzonerna in mental illness. I was fascinated that so much of the suicide rates seems to be with well-functioning people. Why don’t we talk about it?”
