About This Movie

I lodjurets timma, directed by Göran Graffman, dives deep into the dark corners of human nature and punishment. The film's atmosphere is pretty heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the oppressive environment of the prison. You get this eerie tension as the boy, entangled in a gruesome double murder case, becomes part of this unsettling experiment involving animals. It’s not just about the crime; it examines desperation and the psyche of inmates. The pacing has this deliberate, almost claustrophobic rhythm, pulling you into the emotional turmoil. Performances are raw and haunting, giving a very visceral feel. The practical effects, while not over the top, serve the narrative well, adding a layer of grittiness that complements the themes of isolation and moral ambiguity.
