Comments

  • Johan has said that shooting Rapport till himlen was the first time that the joy was predominant and he started to love life on the set.

  • - I liked him hell of lot the very first time I met him, some rock video with Niklas Strömstedt or Anders Glennmark, it was like meeting a hypertalented demonregissör.
    Johan om Ulf Malmros

  • Ulf Malmros has said himself about Rapport till himlen that it's the project that he's the most pleased with. SVT didn't ask for any control over the script, filming or editing. The series were just delivered and aired.

I've written an episode synopsis for Report to heaven and I hope that it will be possible to follow even for people who haven't seen the series.
Just a warning, since it is a synopsis it contains spoilers. If you have any questions, e-mail me.
