Before Stieg Larsson (“Millennium” Trilogy) and Jo Nesbø (‘Headhunters,” “Harry Hole” novels) there was Henning Mankell. Based on an original story from immensely popular Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, “Wallander: The Revenge,” follows the titular chief inspector Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson) as he investigates crimes and solves mysteries in the deceptively dark underbelly of picturesque modern Sweden.
“Wallander: The Revenge” begins with Kurt Wallander having achieved his life’s dream– buying a house by the sea. Suddenly, a heavy explosion ruptures the peace and quiet in Ystad when the town’s single transformer station is blown up, and more explosive deeds follow. The military is called and the little town starts to look like a war zone. Are the explosions acts of sabotage or terrorism? Everything is chaos and Wallander fumbles in darkness as he tries to chase down the culprits. Acclaimed Swedish actress Lena Endre (Erika Berger in the “Millennium” film trilogy) stars as Katarina Ahlsell, a divorced district attorney who has recently moved next door to Kurt Wallander.
One of Sweden’s most celebrated artists and perhaps its greatest living crime writer, Mankell’s Wallander character is responsible for the author’s mainstream popularity around the world and has sold over 20 million books worldwide. With over 40 stage plays, dozens of novels and many adaptations for screen and television, Mankell’s latest project surrounds the life and work of his late father-in-law, the legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
