The Man from Majorca
On 13 December (St Lucy's Day), a bandit daringly robs a crowded post office. Within a fortnight, two witnesses are dead. Vice cops Johansson and Jarnebring, the first to the scene of the crime, pursue all leads and identify a suspect, an arrogant member of the elite secret police, assigned to guard the country's Minister of Justice. Just as they think they've tightened the noose around the suspect, loose ends appear, witnesses lose certainty, alibis arise, and even the cops doubt what they've seen. Who's protecting the suspect and why?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Bo Widerberg constructs a gripping narrative that relies on meticulous police procedure and the social fabric of 1980s Sweden. He explores corrupt power structures and the fragility of witness testimony, using a restrained, almost documentary-like approach.
Those who tire of flashy action will appreciate a thriller where tension builds through dialogue, bureaucratic inertia, and a growing sense of systemic futility. What lingers after the credits is a profound chill of Nordic cynicism. — MovieFinder Editorial
