Call Girl (2012)

Call Girl: Directed by Mikael Marcimain. With Sofia Karemyr, Simon J. Berger, Josefin Asplund, Pernilla August. A young girl is recruited from the bottom rung of society into a ruthless world where power can get you anything.

“A lifeless screenplay makes this ambitious film-project to wreck completely. A true story with all the right ingredients. Olof Palme, the minister of justice Lennart Geijer, Jane Fonda, sex with minors… A major political scandal, swept under the thick Swedish democratic rug. Storytelling turned into a tepid recitation of facts and participants. Very close to the updated version of the book u0026quot;Bordellhärvanu0026quot; by Deanne Rauscher, Gösta Elmquist, and Janne Mattsson (Pocketförlaget 2012). As some of you already pointed out, a remarkable tour de force of the u0026quot;Call Girlu0026quot; art department. Regarding the locations, most of them are negligent/ignorant choices. A 1976 costume in a Stockholm 2011. The film is stuffed with good distinctive Scandinavian actors. Most of them lost in a sprawling storyline. However, Pernilla August is truly magnificent. A lifeboat in an ocean full of good purposes.”
