Cornelis Vreeswijk (1937-1987) left a profound mark on Scandinavian music and popular culture. But even if he was a beloved troubadour advocating for the marginalized in society, he had several darker sides such as alcoholism, jealousy, and violence.
Read moreHis turbulent life and the enormous cultural legacy he left behind are scrutinized in Magnus Gertten's powerful documentary portrait. Previously, Gertten created the Afzelius documentary Tusen bitar, which was the opening film for Kosmorama in 2014. This time, he explores an equally fascinating legend in Swedish music history.
In addition to incorporating new interviews with those close to Vreeswijk, the film delves into the rich archive of Vreeswijk material, including recordings that have never been made public before. The documentary paints a multifaceted picture of the complex troubadour and his captivating art. It's easy to understand why new generations are discovering and appreciating his songs, nearly 40 years after his death.
The screenings on Tuesday 5. March 17:45 and Saturday 9. March 12:00 will be introduced by Kristian Krokfoss, museum presenter at Rockheim.
