The Man on the Roof (Mannen på taket) is a 1976 Swedish crime thriller film directed by Bo Widerberg. The film is based on the 1971 Martin Beck book The Abominable Man, written by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö.Former police inspector Stig Nyman is brutally murdered in a hospital in the middle of the night. Martin Beck (Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt) is called in to investigate the case. As the investigation begins it becomes very clear that few people have anything good to say about Nyman: He was well known for his brutality against suspects and civilians and for abusing his police privileges. Most of his colleagues disliked him and many of the younger policemen even feared him. The police force's esprit de corps however meant that any complaints and reports against him were dismissed and he never suffered any punishment or reprisals for his behavior. It becomes clear that the murderer must be someone seeking revenge against Nyman. As the investigation continues, a man is seen climbing up on a roof, carrying a bag full of guns.The Man on the Roof was a success when released, becoming the Swedish Film Institute most successful until Fanny and Alexander was released six years later. It won the Guldbagge awards for best film and was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 50th Academy Award, but was not accepted as a nominee. | |
