L'homme de Majorque (1984)

The Man from Majorca (Swedish: Mannen från Mallorca) is a 1984 Swedish film directed by Bo Widerberg. The film is based on the novel Grisfesten by Leif G. W. Persson. The novel has big similarities with the Geijer affair (a rumor that the Swedish minister of justice had been with prostitutes, that the Swedish police had knowledge of it and had informed the prime minister). Leif G.W. Persson lost his job at the police because talking to a journalist about his knowledge about the Geijer case, but denied in the preface of the book (Grisfesten) which he wrote soon after, that it had any connections to the affair. Sven Wollter won the award for Best Actor at the 20th Guldbagge Awards.

Synopsis

À Stockholm, le jour de la Sainte-Lucie, un bandit braque audacieusement un bureau de poste bondé. En quinze jours, deux témoins sont morts. Deux flics de la brigade des mœurs, Johansson et Jarnebring, qui ont été les premiers sur la scène de crime, poursuivent toutes les pistes et identifient un suspect, un membre arrogant de la police secrète, un homme chargé de surveiller le ministre de la Justice. Juste comme les flics pensent qu'ils ont serré le suspect, les témoins perdent leurs certitudes, les alibis surgissent, les flics mêmes, doutent de ce qu'ils ont vu. Qui protège le suspect et pourquoi ?
