Ronny Carlsson is a Swedish young, talented and very creative director who for many years has occupied itself with zero budget films. For him it's all about thought, structure and finesse restated to the main aid parts. I got acquainted with Ronny via a previous forum when he was doing his earlier project "Crow Films". This was during a period when he made ​​childish horror movie-parodies, but I do Believe that Ronny realized his talent and during the maturation process he began instead proceed in a much more serious employment - which today goes under the title "Film Bizarro Productions" .

Video Geisteskrank is the first part of an anthology. It is like most torture films - psychologically stressful and difficult to absorb. I do not stress it as something negative, but a certain type of people do not realize the charm of experimental art-house. Film is generally a kind of total art, "Video Geisteskrank " is something extra beyond the technical. With a twinkle in Ronnys eye he has scratched up something that no one in Swedish film history previously obtained, he is thus very independent in this form of the genre in Sweden. The only competitors would in such cases be Nicolas Debot , Lotta Möller and Magnus Gillberg , but I do not think Ronny needs to feel particularly threatened in this case.

Much of the film's inspiration is clearly taken from previous Toe-Tag Pictures and Maggot Films, which are two American film studios that occupy themselves with extreme films and art-house. Picture and sound is the ultimate basic concept in Video Geisteskrank which making the movie interesting , and if not, it generates at least one form of irritation.

It is clear that the make-up effects did not cost a substantial amount of money. As a zero-budget director takes what he have and doing the best for the situation , and that is something that Ronny has definitely done well. The soundtrack is also an important part of the project - highlighting the film's true nature. Here the music is composed by Ronny's own music project "Groronodor".

Video Geisteskrank is obviously the comic part from a series of three and I got some good laughs. Ronny knows how to play with his audience in a very blunt and psychological ways. The classic silent-film theme are sometimes the most fun and it got me for a moment to forget those tough parts. The film is not longer than 20 minutes long and you have the opportunity to behold the works so I think you should give it a chance. It is a very rare Swedish film who takes you to a higher level of cinematography and Ronny Carlsson shall have a great credit for that.

I really don't know where to start, but I would like to give the writer and director Jimmy Johansson gratitude who has given me the opportunity to behold one of Sweden's most important amateur movies, that besides anxiety narratives also express a huge great charm. I recognize a lot in many of the characters which alludes a stereotypical view of youth unemployment in Sweden.

Much of the film feels like a real and embellished version of the cartoon character "Rocky" by Martin Kellerman. Characters' performance can also be compared in class with Lukas Moodysson's film "Show Me Love" from 1998 - but with a bit more unusual, developed and comic twist that I absolutely love. But what I most like about the movie is that Jimmy Johansson has managed to capture its socially critical view of the unemployed youth. The problem is that it actually looks like this in real life. Arkusan says in a small parenthesis that he actually wants to work, but there is no way for him to find a job. The grim emptiness and the feeling of never having money, never have the opportunity to do fun things with friends - believe me, it really is a horrible feeling. And worst of all is when it goes so far that you have to beg for things from others. It is mainly what this movie is all about - to live as a poor and worthless youth.

The film's length of 52 minutes is excellent and does not need to play out longer. Much of the film's concept entertains every minute and there are not many parts that fall off its storyboard. It is recorded in Jonkoping, Huskvarna and Gothenburg, so it's great that I who living in Sweden recognize some places that the film is set on. It also contains small, short sequences including New York and New Jersey. It even includes a sound stage by Lloyd Kaufman from Troma Entertainment, this sequence is revealed in the film's intro when Arkusan masturbate to the porn movie "Cream Cat 3".

The soundtrack is made up of local talent, partly as horror punk-rockers SISTER, but also SPDA, Apsvett feat Ralph ez Boston and gender-rocker "Alter Egon." I must not forget to mention that splatter-rap king "Goretex" is also involved. Another fun trivia is that the film would have included a scene with the Swedish porn actress Samson Biceps from, among others, Mike Beck porn series "Riding School". This, however, never happened due to financial problems.

Just to have cost ten pieces DV tape, a dog leash and a bunch of amateur actors, this is an absolutely brilliant film. It gives a directed purse park to today's society and plays out as an anarchist way into the bone marrow. Despite the efforts of the actor is in addition to the unique performance, you know, after all, what the movie are about, and it quickly becomes concerned by Arkusan. I recommend this film highly, and if you don't understand the film's message the first time, make sure to take a second look or even a third time. It can be seen in infinity!
