Full Review

Karin af Klintberg's documentary, 'Inside the Trustor Scandal', meticulously unpacks the notorious 1997 financial fraud that saw 600 million kronor vanish and left law enforcement baffled for decades. The film's greatest strength lies in its ability to secure a rare, on-camera interview with Joachim Posener, the alleged mastermind who had been an international fugitive for nearly 30 years. This unique access provides fresh insight into the complex web of deceit and the psychology behind the crime, making for a truly fascinating narrative.

The storytelling is largely riveting, hooking viewers with unanswered questions about how five individuals orchestrated such a massive heist and where the money ultimately went. While the intricate financial details can occasionally be complex, the documentary generally maintains an engaging pace, blending contemporary interviews with historical photographs and dynamic visual graphs to illustrate the economic impact. Director af Klintberg, a Guldbagge winner, demonstrates a strong command of the genre, crafting a film that, according to some, speaks the visual and emotional language of a feature film, with elements of noir cinematography contributing to a dense atmosphere.
