Pop-country phenoms, Harmonica ruled the circuit, boasting sold-out arena tours and lavish lifestyles. When they find themselves on the other side of that fame decades later, Monica (Josephine Bornebusch) and Harry (Jonas Karlsson) have to decide whether to embark on a reunion tour or stay firmly planted in their present-day, lives racked with grief and angst. Their marriage on the brink of collapse, the two agree to take one last shot at living their passions outright, the traumas they’ve accumulated in tow.
Vivid flashbacks establish a profound dichotomy in this Swedish-language, Viaplay Original drama series. The cast, rounded out by Eric Ericson (“Department Q”), Nina Zanjani (“Hedda Gabler”), Jorgen Thorrson (“Border”), and Dag Malmberg (“Gåsmamman”), offers sporadic comedic relief while serving to superbly flesh-out the scenes of excess and tension.
At its core “Harmonica,” is a story of true love grown apathetic, ravaged, holding on by a thread. Produced...

There’s not actually a whole lot of horror movies based on a boat at sea for nearly its entire length. Obviously you have things like Jaws or this years Underwater but they are slightly different beasts. As are things like Ghost Ship or even films like Mary or Triangle, which while based on boat have a threat that is also on the boat. In Sea Fever the threat is coming from a parasite in the sea which keeps the crew of the boat stuck on it for the foreseeable future.
Sea Fever has plenty of things going for it other than how unique it feels. The rusty old boat is a great setting and I very much enjoyed how authentic everything felt. The boat did look old and rusty,...

As UK remake The Tunnel returns, we celebrate Swedish/Danish crime drama The Bridge...
9pm, Saturday night, BBC Four. For the few of us who still, on occasion, watch television when it’s actually broadcast, that timeslot means only one thing: high-quality drama from outside the anglophone world. Okay, so some of the series are less impressive than others, and one or two are in English (remember Australia’s The Code?) but these are exceptions to the rule. What began as a fad, accompanied by much reductive talk of ‘Scandi noir’ and a mildly disturbing national obsession with Sarah Lund’s knitwear, has culminated in a golden age for telly addicts. Our initial resistance to subtitles has faded, and a whole world of often beautifully acted, compellingly plotted drama has opened up. We haven’t strayed very far outside Europe yet, but it’s a start.

Sofia Helin takes it to The Bridge.
The Bridge is the Scandinavian crime mystery television series that inspired the 2013 U.S. remake on FX that stars Demian Bechir and Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds).
Created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt, The Bridge is a production that is co-produced and financed by entities in both Sweden and Denmark. (Thus, in Scandinavia, it carries the title of Broen/Bron – “The Bridge” being translated into “Broen” in Danish and “Bron” in Swedish.)
The series was originally aired in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland in 2011. In the UK, the series was shown in weekly two-episode blocks on the BBC April, 2012, where it hailed as a serious smash.
The Bridge begins when a woman is found murdered in the middle of the Oresund Bridge, which is right on the border between Sweden and Denmark. Police from both...

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
With Olympic fever on the verge of breaking out, it is of little surprise that our cinemas are being bombarded with all manner of inspirational sports stories. After the overly-insistent approach of the home-grown flag-waving exercise Fast Girls, The Athlete instead endeavours to tell a more heartfelt and universal story, albeit with results that only sometimes feel adequately nourishing.
The first time we see Abebe Bikila (Rasselas Lakew), it is 1969 and he is readying himself for an epic three-year journey. Bikila is unquestionably best known for his barefoot run during the 1960 Rome Olympics, in which he collected Gold – and the first medal for a black athlete - in the marathon. Back in ’69, he is prepping for one final race at the 1972 Munich Olympics, while directors Davey Frankel and Rasselas Lakew transport us back to his beginnings, observing the ups and downs that brought him to both...
