Synopsis
"House of Angels" (Änglagård, 1992) is a Swedish comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Colin Nutley. The local recluse of a small Västergötland village dies and leaves his farmhouse to a distant relative — Fanny — who arrives on a black motorcycle with her boyfriend Zack dressed in leather and metal spikes. The village has never had to process anything like them.
Their arrival reshuffles the entire community. A landowner who had his eye on the property is furious. The more curious villagers watch and quietly reconsider. Helena Bergström and Rikard Wolff carry Fanny and Zack with wry, easy charm, while Sven Wollter as the outraged traditionalist holds the comic structure together. At two-plus hours it moves at a generous pace that never drags.
Sweden submitted the film for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1993, and it swept the Guldbagge Awards that year. Nutley followed with a 1994 sequel, same cast. Stream "House of Angels" online on iFILM.
