In the 60s I was very keen on Swedish films and especially Ingmar Bergman like The Virgin Spring (1960) and The Silence (1963) but also Bo Widerberg like of Love 65 (1965) and really Elvira Madigan (1967) but probably never seen this before. It is wonderful, not so much an art movie, but really well done. At first there is a surprising killing and then, perhaps even more of a lot which seems to relate to Police corruption, and how. They are telling us of a terrible story and then not just the death of a Policeman but more to come, of course, on the roof. Some of the people not actors and the mix does well as it is so thrilling. At the very end maybe it doesn't seem quite as realistic but it is all together splendid.
