Richard Hobert

Alla tycker dom som dom vill

Nilsson thinks the director Richard Hobert makes such terrible films and he had to go ask him why.

A Filmmaker And His Secrets

Richard Hobert, the director behind the Seven Deadly Sins series, was long silent about the sins described in these films. One summer evening in Österlen in 2000, he revealed the answers. Richard Hobert himself and the protagonist Göran Stangertz also reveal new breathtaking depths in the films when they openly and bravely tell why it was a vital necessity for them to carry out the project.

Kejsaren

Before World War II, Swedish workers had to deal with low wages, scarce work, and the extensive importation of foreign labor, particularly for the purpose of breaking strikes. This did not make foreigners of any stripe very popular, and those from "guest worker" countries were particularly disliked. In this film, set in 1938, a half-Polish boy goes to Poland in search of his mother, runs into financial and psychological difficulties there, and is sent back to a Swedish mental hospital. In another story, an unfortunate woman suffers a miscarriage and ends up at the asylum where the Polish boy is being kept.
