The film also deals with Segerstedt's relations with his wife, his mistress, and his mistress's husband who was a close friend of Segerstedt. After finishing his previous feature film, Everlasting Moments from , director Jan Troell has said that he felt an emptiness and wondered whether he ever would get to make another film. Fant wondered whether Troell would be interested in making a film based on Segerstedt's life.

Initially, Troell had problems finding an approach for the film's narrative, but soon read another biography about Segerstedt, written by his secretary Estrid Ancker. Troell also read Ancker's research material for the book, which included interviews with more than people connected to Segerstedt. The director then chose to make a film which focuses on Segerstedt as a human being more than as a public figure.

Production was led by Filmlance International. Early in the production process Max von Sydow was considered for the role of Segerstedt. Soon however Troell decided to offer it to the Danish actor Jesper Christensen. Both Troell and Christensen were initially worried about Christensen's Danish accent, which would be inconsistent with the role; this was eventually solved by changing the script to make Segerstedt's mother Danish.

The casting choice was also motivated with the fact that Troell's earlier film Hamsun had starred Sydow, who there spoke Swedish in the role of the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. Finally they went to Stockholm for three days in May. The filming in Stockholm included a scene set inside the Storkyrkan Cathedral , which was staged as a homage to the short film Symphony of a City by Arne Sucksdorff , a filmmaker who was a major influence for Troell's earliest works.

It was the first feature-length fiction film Troell shot digitally, although he had previously directed digital short films and a documentary feature. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk.
