1994 film by Jan Troell

A little boy is standing on a platform at the railway station in Malmö, looking at a steam locomotive that is going to leave for Simrishamn. The machinery starts moving, passengers board the train. Before the boy enters the car, his mother gives him his bag, hoping he will manage this trip on his own. The boy sits down and starts looking at the other passengers. He picks up his ticket and gives it to the conductor. The stoker shovels more coal into the firebox, while the train passes across the plain outside Lund. Peasants working in the fields look up, and so do various animals along the track. The train makes a short stop to be refilled with water. When it continues, the train driver suddenly sees a cat between the rails. He blows the hooter, but the cat doesn't move. When the train has passed, the cat is still between the rails, but unharmed.

Poetic documentary about the polar expedition of S. A. Andrée which Troell had previously dramatized in "Ingenjör Andrées luftfärd" (1982).

»The Last Sentence«, the latest film from Jan Troell is a biographical drama about a leading newspaperman in Sweden during the Nazi era. The film follows Torgny Segerstedt, editor-in-chief for the liberal Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, one of the few Swedish newspapers that held a staunch anti-Nazi view. His public opposition to the Nazi regime made him a controversial figure in neutral Sweden during WWII, when the government made compromises to maintain Sweden’s neutrality.

Triple murders are rare enough in Sweden that they qualify as headline-grabbing national news for prolonged periods of time. This movie is based on the story behind one such incident, which took place in 1988. A girl and a boy from Finland have traveled to Denmark, where they support themselves by various mildly nefarious means, generally small burglaries. The boy is captured for one of these crimes and does some jail time, while the girl tries to make a go of it on her own. However, when her aggressive young lover gets out of jail, she takes off with him to Sweden. There, they engage in ever-more daring criminal feats, until one day they murder a married couple and their teenaged son while they are visiting a cemetery. According to reviewers, there is a sense of inevitability in the progress of the story, which focuses on the alienation and isolation of these two congenital outsiders.

A Swedish immigrant family struggles to adapt to their new life on the American frontier during the second half of the 19th century amidst civil war, native uprising and the lure of gold in California.
