Based on a good detective story (1963) by writer Kerstin Ekman, sensitively retold by Frykberg and Alfredson, combined with great music by the Flesh Quartet (aka Fläskkvartetten) and brilliant acting performances by several well-known Swedish actors, this is a first-rate movie with genuine provincial atmosphere and scenery of elk-hunting season. You should also be aware that most countryside folks in Sweden tend to distinguish between those who get to participate in the hunt and those who don't, and autumn is divided in two before and after this most important event of the year.
