Below are some additional films I watched during this year’s festival.
We got invited to the premiere of the film “Pleasure” directed by Ninja Thyberg, produced by Grand Slam Film and Plattform Produktion. Hosted by Petré Event. The film was high quality, entertaining, beautiful and chocking without being glorifying nor judging. The music by Karl Frid with both opera and hardcore hip-hop, perhaps inspired by the Madonna-whore complex, lifted the experience to perfection. No wonder it’s been a festival darling. Go watch it!
“Chimera” was shot during 2020 in Dalarna Country, Sweden.
Hanna Oldenburg plays psychiatrist ELSA in movie “Charlène” by Navneet Niklas Singh.
Grateful for this journey, thanks to Ruben Östlund and Erik Hemmendorff for letting me be part of the team!
It took 10 months to shoot this film, due to Corona delays. But due to such extraordinary producers they manage to pull it through despite the worst possible conditions, and constant battles with restrictions, lock downs and limitations.

The crew are having a sunset sandwich break after wrap of the day, onboard Christina O, with Ruben in the foreground. I was shooting for two weeks in Greece on this last block of the film, and every evening we had these amazing sunsets looking out at the ocean from this superyacht. Christina O once had guests such as Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill, Grace of Monaco, John F Kenney and Jackie Kennedy, who infamously turned into Jackie O when marrying Ari Onassis just months after JFK was shot. It really is a historic and stunningly beautiful boat.

This scene of the stewardess team looks quiet and peaceful, but things escalates rather quickly, and I may or may not leave the room with a ripped shirt.
The production of Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” has started up again, this time with Woody Harrelson being able to travel to Sweden joining the team. It’s been an unusually hot June in Sweden with degrees around 30 C/86 F, which is really hot for Sweden. There are no air-con anywhere since most of the time we need to heat ut our buildings, not cool them down. The film studio has been really sweaty, and all of us were soaking wet. I actually love the heat, and don’t mind sweating at all, as long as there’s cold water to get into afterwards.
I’ve signed to play the Lead in a Swedish feature film, currently in pre-production. Shooting starts end of July/beginning of August. It’s a challenging dark role in a controversial drama.
Jag är signad för att spela huvudrollen i en svensk långfilm, som är i för-produktion. Inspelningen startar i sluten av Juli/början av Augusti. Det är en utmanande mörk roll i ett kontroversiellt drama.
Photo from a commercial shoot in Malibu, California during the golden hour. Make up by my favorite make up artist Jade Martinez (who also has her own beauty brand Moonstar Beauty) and photo by Getty fashion, entertainment and celebrity photographer Tasia Noelle. I’ve worked with both of them numerous times, and there’s always such a great energy on set. A pleasure to be working with such pros!
