Marie-Louise Ekman

She has been on stage for over sixty years and has played all the great female roles. Now she is working on a new play, but at the same time she is facing the end at the age of 83 – and it doesn’t feel nice. Already in 1969, Marie met her great love, the actor Jan Malmsjö. Now she talks about the great passion that struck her even though she was already married, and about what everyday love looks like in older age.

She is one of the most significant artists of our time - and perhaps also one of the most active. Marie-Louise Ekman has been active in painting since the late 1960s. She has worked with film and stage design, has been director of the Royal Dramatic Theatre and rector of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Anneli Kustfält has followed the artist closely for two years, as she returns to the studio and life as a freelance artist after her years at the Royal Dramatic Theatre. The documentary is a deep dive into an artistry characterized by courage, independence and a reluctance to please. But also a journey back to Marie-Louise's upbringing, the alcoholic father and the anxious mother.

Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway. Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."
