Oh well, one of these days. :roll: *:)*

From Fia-Stina Sandlund's website.

2011 – 09 – 23
I’m currently working on a film trilogy based on August Strindberg’s famous play Miss Julie. The first one – She’s Blonde Like Me – is out there on festivals. The second one – She’s Staging It – was shot this summer and will have its TV-premiere in May 2012 (read more about it under 2011). The third one – She’s Wild Again Tonight – is under preproduction. The new story is based on an idea by Josefine Adolfsson (Shemonkeys) and me. Josefine is the screenplay writer and I’m the director. Marius Dybwad Brandrud is as always, the DP.
Background: in 2007 I was awarded a Swedish stipend; one year of studio work in New York. About the same time I was sent an article, written by my aunt Boel Seldén, in which she analyzed Miss Julie from a psychoanalytical and feminist point of view (read the article under 2008). The article really took hold of me. I had just experienced something personal that reminded me of the play. I bought my first copy of Miss Julie, which gave me the impetus for the project. It has often been said that the play, Miss Julie, comes with a curse; that the people, who work with it, become so affected by the story that the borderlines between their own lives and the play are blurred. That goes not only for the female lead – Julie. During the time I've been working on this project I've often questioned to what extent I've been in charge of my own fate.


Haven't seen or read anything yet which puts me off wanting to buy DVD's of all three films when (if?) I can. *:)*
Hmmm. Wonder if OEB's going to stock them. :?: *:)* :D :?

I'm not sure I would necessarily describe this as a curse, unless it actually goes pathological or dysfunctional; I would have said that any really successful, really great work of art should 'blur the borderlines', move into your life and bring its luggage, for however long it matters to you... :?:

I have the distinct feeling that the main language will be English, so that's good news for us English speakers. :D

I'm not sure I would either, but Fia-Stina did. Perhaps it's just a light hearted comment about the blurred lines between fantasy and reality brought about by "Miss Julie".
Couldn't see that happening with any other film. *:)* *:)* :shock: :roll: :T :P :lol:

What is this "reality" of which you speak?

I do not believe I am familiar with this concept. :?:

But sadly I've yet to find her at the 2012 Elle Galan. *:|*

I thought she may have been in New York w*rking with Fia Stina Sandlund on the rest of the Strindberg trilogy films. Maybe that's coming up soon.

A variation of the "Alex in a mask" pic for Fia Stina's She's Blonde Like Me. :)P
