Cold Case Hammarskjöld (2019)
Important Investigation, Horrid Presentation
30 November 2020 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Swedish investigator Goran Bjorkdahl deserves great credit for uncovering and preserving a few new pieces of evidence in the Hammarskjold mystery. The subject matter of the investigation is important but this director's presentation is horrid.
Director and presenter Mads Brugger comes off as a self-important and meandering fool in the overly long and unfocused film. Edit out all of the scenes where Brugger is just taking up screen time and speed the pace of the other 60% of the film, and you could end up with a much tighter and more effective 60-80 minute film.
I hope documentarian Ravi Somaiya, who has written a compelling book on the same subject, will build upon this base and create something more worthy of this much viewing time.
