During excavations made in Stockholm in the year 2248, archaeologists find 45,000 meters of film reels from the 1940s, which turn out to be feature films by master director Hasse Ekman. The material is in total disarray, but the Association of Ancient Film Research compiles the reels according to what they believe to have been the master’s artistic intent.

The story is compiled from eight of Hasse Ekman’s 40’s movies – one of the first (the first?) films to consist exlusively of samples from a director’s prior work. Ekman chose this solution as a response to the strike among Swedish actors at the time. The only original take is the one in color in the start with the “professor” and hottie Eva Henning (Ekman’s wife at the time) as his assistant.
Supposedly, several of the actors were furious about their scenes being exploited this way. The montage even links scenes that suggest gay romance between straight characters.

The post Hasse Ekman – Möte i natten AKA Meeting In The Night (1946) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Ekman’s favorite of his own films, and an enduring classic in Scandinavia, “Girl with Hyacinths” examines the mysterious suicide of a young woman (Eva Henning, Ekman’s wife at the time) through a Wellesian multiplicity of points of view. Visually striking, with extreme long takes and images that drift into a dreamlike surrealism, the film reveals its secrets with grace and sympathy, moving toward a final revelation that seems at least a generation ahead of its time.
