This noir-style swedish crime drama is definitely a standout in the genre, and one made by a very competent and ever great director.
The script is wonderfully put together, very tightly paced, and features some great twists and turns. The actors all do an incredible job, as one would expect from such a great cast of iconic and well known names.
The cinematography is great, as is the cutting and editing. Very beautifully put together all around.
Overall, truly an incredible and ever suspenseful film that is very much recommended for any lover of film, and a great standout in the crime genre. Grear showcasing of Sweden's ability for great filmmaking.

Incredible directing, incredible acting
Twice murdered ..
A fine film noir ,mainly in its first part : after the murder of her husband ,the wife escapes and wanders in the streets of the town , where every inhabitant is a living threat (close shots on the face) .She becomes the first suspect and the headlines of the newspapers mention her name and her photograph for all to see .
The second part is more conventional , in the tradition of Agatha Christie (but not as brilliant as her plots) ,where the detective knows the name of the murderer but has no evidence , the gathering of all suspects to set a trap to catch him ....It occurs just after WW2 ,and there is a hint at Himmler's and Goering's suicides ,because the victim was actually murdered twice...
The flashbacks reveal a hateful victim,who took his lover at home and imposed a menage à trois to her wife ; and not only the distraught wife ,but other people had motives to get rid of this go-getter : the husband's brother in love with his sister-in-law; the cousin ,Olle, who has a crush on her too and wants to run the business; the aunt ,a past master in poisons for she used to work in a pharmacy ......
Eva Henning has a Hitckockian look , which brightens up this mist.
