Originally posted by lbenac Here in Canada, there was a series on TV about a Swedish detective called Kurt Wallander with Kenneth Branagh. Some of the scenery could have been part of your photo shoot.
Excellent series BTW.

Thanks Luc!
Kurt Wallander in the novels by Henning Mankel lives and works in the city of Ystad in the state of Skåne at the southmost coast of Sweden. Tjörn island is located much further north on the west coast in the state of Bohuslän.
The landscape of Bohuslän is characterised by the smoth bare rocks that was left when the last ice age withdraw. As the land is still rising from the sea, new sea bottom becomes land every year. The Skåne landscape is much more fertile.
Three actors have made the charactere of Kurt Wallander on film/TV-series:
Rolf Lassgård
Krister Henningsson
Kenneth Brannagh
Lassgård is the by far superior actor of these three who makes a much richer charactere with all the inner struggles and fights that Wallander has to face besides murderers and such.

For all I know thay may have recorded the English version of Wallander with Brannagan somewhere entirely different, far away from Ystad, even in Bohuslän, England, Canada or wherever. Try to get a chance to see a Wallander film with Rolf Lassgård, you wont regret it. It takes a Swede to play a Swedish police with hangover.
