Swedish production company Brain Academy has brought two upcoming features to this year’s Goteborg Film Festival: “The Perfect Patient,” currently in post-production which presented at Friday’s works in progress section, and “The Girlfriend,” which participated in Rotterdam’s financing and co pro market, CineMart.
“The Perfect Patient” tells the story of the biggest legal scandal in Sweden’s history. Hannes Råstam was an investigative journalist dedicated to proving the innocence of Thomas Quick, a confessed serial killer whose convictions for eight murders were acquired under precarious circumstances. At the time Quick was a patient at a mental hospital, and confessed to more than 30 murders. Beyond the confession the evidence was weak, and Råstam was unrelenting in unmasking the legal chaos which lead to a life sentence for Quick.
The film is ambitious, boasting a €4 million ($4.59 million) budget and a rockstar cast including Berlin Efp Shooting Star winners David Dencik and Alba August,...
