The Count

The Count deconstructs the true crime genre by focusing on a family member of the director, a criminal with a controversial past. The film runs for 74 minutes and offers a personal perspective on the life of a man suspected of murder three times.

This documentary presents a thrilling examination of our collective fascination with violence and the stories we consume. As the first of its kind in Nordic noir, it addresses the political implications of storytelling in the realm of crime. The Count challenges viewers to reflect on their desires for such narratives and the societal impact of these true stories.
