Parade

For his final film, Jacques Tati takes his camera to the circus, where the director himself serves as master of ceremonies. Though it features many spectacles, including clowns, jugglers, acrobats, contortionists, and more, Parade also focuses on the spectators, making this stripped-down work a testament to the communion between audience and entertainment.

Zorn

Swedish painter Anders Zorn gained notoriety for his nudes. His works are currently worth millions. The film is set in the time when Zorn, already respected for his art, was commissioned to paint a portrait of the Swedish king. Though an excellent painter, Zorn's personal life is dreadful. A boozer and a womanizer who frequently cheats on his wife, Zorn constantly seeks approval for his art. When he travels to the U.S. for a tour he meets Emilie Bartlett the wife of sculptor Paul W. Bartlett with whom he begins a sporadic affair. After Paul commits suicide, Zorn and Emilie move to Sweden. Zorn disregards his wife's feelings and openly displays his affections for Emilie.

Nyblandad Grogg

Nyblandad Grogg features sketches with Robert Gustafsson, Johan Wahlström, Sissela Kyle, Anna Björk, and Stig Grybe. A DVD with a late-night vibe, a relationship drama with old men hanging out at the bar when they should be at home. An explosive version of the TV series Grogg with all the favorites, lots of new material, and sketches that should never have been given a second chance. Sexist improvisation at its best. Robert Gustafsson as an aggressive Östermalm woman complains about "blacks with sharp fangs who ritually slaughter puppies in the bathtub." And the blind Indian sings his classic tribute song to the tram. So, just like usual, it's the triumph of non-normative creativity in the spirit of Schlegel, when Sweden's funniest man strikes again.
