Le quartier du corbeau

The naturalistic cinematography captures superbly the poor neighborhoods of Malmö and conveys the working class without any embellishment. Sunk in alcoholism, shattered hopes, cretinism, superstition and prostitution, a existentialism in drama without a excessive depressed mood.

"Raven's End " has a very good output and a nice execution, although it is a little event-thin, but the story is nothing but powerful and touching. Bo Widerberg has the ability to create fascinating, strong and convincing dialogues and relationships between the characters.

There are some scenes in the movie that shows the greatness in Swedish film, both in speech and performance. The acting is very glamorous spectacle, mainly from Emy Storm, Keve Hjelm and a terribly young and experienced Thommy Berggren. It is an excellent construction of the black-and-white 1930s, and probably my favourite Swedish film of all time.
