About the book:
"Sweden's prominent and secure film legacy is associated internationally with Ingmar Bergman's successful and high-quality works. However, even the greatest Swedish director could not resist another breed of Swedish film - notorious for laissez-faire nudity, relaxed sexuality, drugs, and shocking violence - the sensationsfilm.
Produced in the backyard of the Swedish film industry, these daring sensationsfilms form a canon of movies dealing with shocking and taboo subjects - street punks, sadistic mobsters, space aliens, unruly housewives, ruthless drug pushers, bloodthirsty ninjas, teen temptresses, lingonberry cowboys, bearded Danish perverts, horny glam rockers, and drunken Vikings - all simply too strange and too Swedish to ignore."
