| Sweden: Heaven and Hell | comment |
Sweden: Heaven and Hell (Italian: Svezia, inferno e paradiso) is a 1968 Italian mondo film directed by Luigi Scattini and narrated by British actor Edmund Purdom. As the title implies, the film is a heavily sensationalized portrayal of life in Sweden, with particular focus on the country's liberal attitudes towards sexuality and drug use. The film is best known nowadays for its soundtrack by Piero Umiliani, featuring the debut of the song "Máh-Ná-Mah-Ná", later made famous by The Muppets. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_23330a99 | comment |
Immediate Self-Contradiction: Very frequently the film will show people who are clearly having the time of their life, but the narration will describe them as deeply unhappy. | |

A Party, Also Known as an Orgy | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_28b08686 | comment |
A Party, Also Known as an Orgy: One segment involves a pleasure cruise travelling the islands near Stockholm as a group of horny young people drink, have sex, and exchange partners during the trip. The narrator claims these so-called "boat excursions" serve as little more than an excuse for teenage girls to lose their virginity. | |

Anthology Film: Like most mondo films, this one is a collection of loosely connected segments, in this case focusing on different aspects of life in Sweden. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: How the film portrays the titular nation — behind its liberated façade, life in Sweden is shown as empty and unfulfilled, with high rates of suicide, alcoholism, and drug addiction. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Much is made about the titular nation's supposedly high suicide rate. To illustrate this, a young woman is shown jumping to her death in one of the film's "found footage" moments. | |

Culture Clash | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: Arguably the film's central theme, with the Swedes' liberal attitudes towards sex and drugs clashing with the more conservative views of the mostly Italian production team. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: After a mostly frivolous, if rather preachy, journey through life in Sweden (barring a few nasty moments), the film concludes with a somber vignette involving students being trained to live in an underground bunker in the event of the Cold War turning hot. | |

Norse by Norsewest: Possibly the Trope Maker for the portrayal of Sweden (and by extension the rest of Scandinavia) as "sexy". | |

Ethical Slut | |
| Sweden: Heaven and Hell / int_8c170cb1 | comment |
Ethical Slut: "Ethical" may not exactly be the correct word here given the film's moralistic tone, but the women of the titular nation are nevertheless portrayed as being very casual and nonchalant when it comes to sex. | |

Moral Guardians | |

Moral Guardians: The film as a whole has a very moralistic tone, with the narration often betraying barely concealed disgust at the Swedes' casual attitudes towards sex and drug use. | |
