Godheten

Well-renowned Swedish director Stefan Jarl is back, taking the pulse of our time. In this new movie he outlines what he calls “the loss of the shared”—which has been taken over by greed, selfishness, the worship of Mammon, the return of the upper class, bonuses, venture capitalists and privatisation of the public sphere, the emergence of a new class society with growing inequality, exclusion and increasing violence. Is everything for sale? The Goodness is an implacable indictment of today’s social climate. (Festival information)
