I lived wonderful moments but success is also a source of trouble.
I was a little naive.
The Swedish press wanted to shoot me.
I rose too high and she wanted to bring me down.
I have to be much more careful about what I say in my interviews.
I found myself at the heart of small controversies…

, one of your first films, presented at Cannes at the Directors' Fortnight in 2011, never found a distributor in France.
It is inspired by a real fact, racketeering by black children of white children, under the complacent and guilt-ridden gaze of their parents.
Too politically incorrect?
Perhaps.
In

It was controversial in Sweden but it was released theatrically, as in many countries.
I find it sad that this has not been the case in France.
Do you ever censor yourself?
Yes
