Details
The Notorious Mr. Bout is a riveting documentary that delves into the life of infamous arms smuggler Viktor Bout, whose empire came crashing down in 2008 due to a U.S. government sting operation in Thailand. Known as the merchant of death, Bout was a shadowy figure operating in the post-Soviet Russian landscape, where he had built a massive aerial delivery business. Despite his menacing reputation, a different side of Bout is revealed in the film - a philosophical businessman who loved to travel, work, and spend time with his family, all captured on his video camera. The documentary sheds light on the complexities of Bout's character, challenging the popular narrative of him as a super-villain. With captivating storytelling and rare footage, The Notorious Mr. Bout offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of a man who lived on the fringes of society, leaving viewers both fascinated and questioning their preconceived notions about him.

Celsing och den känsliga brutalismen
2025
Kulturhuset vid Sergels torg i Stockholm, med sin storslagna betongfasad och öppna glasytor, är en av stadens mest igenkännliga byggnader. När Sveriges huvudstad ska moderniseras under efterkrigstiden spelar Peter Celsing en huvudroll. Kulturhuset vid Plattan kom att bli hans livsverk och han räknas idag till de allra största i den svenska arkitekturhistorien. Här får vi berättelsen om den monumentala byggnadens tillkomst och mannen bakom. Vad var hans vision och hur gick det till när huset byggdes? Förutom bebyggelsen i City kom han att också göra stora avtryck i stadens utkant med tunnelbanestationer och kyrkor, allt med en uppenbar konstnärlighet och en fixerad kärlek till tidens material, betong. Svensk dokumentär från 2025 av Oskar Anesten.
