Hempas bar (1977)

What do you get when a father of two boys discovers that one’s an Elvis superfan and the other isn’t the athletic standout he’d hoped for? A whole lotta trouble, that’s what! There’s nothing like a foreign drama about isolation to brighten your day, as does the Swedish cinema Hempas bar (1977). But never fear, because superbad and bold Swede Harriet Andersson is here!

Known for being an Ingmar Bergman protege, Harriet found fame as an actress willing to cross boundaries and forgo social norms for the sake of art. Even if those social norms mean keeping your Swedish melons stuffed in your sweater! In Hempas bar, those norms are tossed out the window when Harriet prances around the boudoir in black lingerie in her boudoir before unveiling her Andersson assets for the lucky man accompanying her. This Swedish sweetie will have your meatballs achin’!
