Notable Quotes

❝ "The queen of hearts is back in town, the queen of hearts still wears the crown..."

❝ "Elva Kvinnor..." was not, and does not remain, a work destined for a commercial "big bang", but it is a work of truly exquisite sincerity and delicacy, that benefits in the long run, so much so that at the time, in Sweden, its climb up the charts stopped at eleventh place, but remained there for no less than fifty-three weeks.
