I think 20 was bigger than the audience for the screening I attended. I see your point about the Balkans gangster type. It seems to be endemic across Nordic cinema as I can think of examples in Norwegian and Danish films as well. Typing like this always has some kind of basis in ‘lived experience’ but I’m not sure whether this is seen as excessive in Sweden. It’s interesting that in the recent Arne Dahl series on TV there were criminal gangs from Estonia and elsewhere in the Baltic. I can’t remember if there were also Serbs/Albanians etc.

However, when I saw it this week there were at most 20 people in the cinema. Perhaps it can reach a wider audience when it eventually arrives on TV.
Incidentally I do sometimes wonder if people from the Balkans are getting a bit fed up with being portrayed so often as violence prone gangsters.
