Bo Widerberg

Bo Widerberg was born in Malmö on 8 June 1930, the only son of Arvid and Greta Widerberg, and grew up in a one-room flat. He published his first novel in 1952, then other novels and short stories, while writing about books and films in the press. In 1962, a collection of essays in which he reproached Swedish cinema for being turned in on itself and cut off from reality made him known. He wrote, directed and edited his films, also worked for the theatre and television, and was three times in the running for the Oscar for best foreign film. He died in Ängelholm on 1 May 1997, aged sixty-six.
