Astrid Lindgren – Die Menschheit hat den Verstand verloren
Specials, Germany / Sweden 2025, 98 Min., sw. OV, engl. st / ger. version
Long before Astrid Lindgren wrote the children’s book that would make her famous, she wrote for herself. A journal that she began keeping in 1939 was published in 2015. It covers the entire period of World War II and delivers a poignant and very personal chronicle of those years in Sweden. Lindgren writes of her fear that the war might reach her sheltered homeland, about her guilty conscience at her own comfortable life, but also about her marital problems, and the first Pippi Longstocking stories that she told her daughter to lull her to sleep. The film combines excerpts from the journals with historical archive material, reconstructed images, and interviews with Lindgren’s daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. It provides a fascinating look into the inner world of a woman who was as empathic as she was political, and into her perceptions of events.
