Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Sweden's 1980s drug panic, Korset weaponized the country's Lutheran guilt against its welfare-state self-image. The crucifixions were genuinely shocking on state television.
Lars Molin originally wrote this as a stage play; Tommy Johnson's physicality in the crucifixion scenes required custom rigging borrowed from a church restoration team.
