- TriviaSome scenes were taken from director Ulf Malmros' own youth, like one where Erik decides to move to Stockholm because the film company forgot to send the last reel of Pulp Fiction (1994) to the local theatre. In real life it was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and the projectionist came down and told the ending of the movie.

Featured review
Laughable countryside
There have for the last decade been quite a lot of Swedish films about the Swedish world outside Stockholm. The stockholmers have had a lot to laugh about. Little is known here about how the smalltown Swedish inhabitants take that.
But "Smala Sussie" ("Slim Sussie" in English) is funny in more ways than being a hillbilly comedy. The acting by young Björn Starrin, Jonas Rimeika and Tuva Novotny is great. There might be a place for a discussion whether murder and using drugs really is a funny subject. Here it is so however, although everything is far from the Tarantino treatment.
But you have to be Swedish to appreciate this. Or maybe Scandinavian.
