Denis Lavant, Agnieska Podsiadlik, Livia Millhagen, Aron Skoog
Skoog immerses us in the remarkable true story of Karl-Göran Persson, a farm worker in a small village who, inspired by a government Cold War pamphlet, spent decades fortifying his home against nuclear attack. Exquisitely shot in black and white using a recreation of the home bunker that Persson created, Skoog shows us the lengths he went to in order to secure scrap for his project, not to keep out his local community but in a bid to protect them.
This measured and meticulous cinema triumph is a celebration of eccentricity and determination – Glasgow Film Theatre
