Politics plays a role in this film, although it isn't by any means the primary theme of the film. The music played in the background of some scenes is quite cheery - jaunty even, accompanying mostly comedic scenes.
Other cast members include Mia Skaringer as Gunilla, Georg Nikoloff as Popov and Jens Hulten as Gaddan. I presume he to be a younger actor, as it looked quite a lot like he was wearing prosthetics of some sort to make him look like an elderly person - the face seemed somehow artificial but it didn't put me entirely off. Cast wise, Allan is played by Robert Gustafsson. I liked that it seemed a relatively original film - the characters are quite good fun. The story, in terms of Allan's past, is interesting, with some aspects seeming rather unlikely but it makes for an intriguing watch regardless. It is quite funny at times and the comedy tends to be pretty black in tone.
Its a somewhat thoughtful film, with the main character philosophising about his past, about what he's learnt in life and where things have got him. I found the titular character quite endearing and respected that he decided to take things in to his own hands, to take back his independence and follow his nose, so to speak. It features some English language narration but narration and the odd scene aside, its primarily in Swedish and other European languages, so suffice to say there are quite a lot of subtitles present.
Its based on a popular novel of the same name, written by Jonas Jonasson.
