Details

This special limited edition slipcover (designed by Beth Morris) is limited to 500 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano.

A seemingly divine premonition leads Norwegian sisters Kari and May to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, the seller looks remarkably similar to their older sister Astrid, who committed suicide thirty years earlier. What’s even more odd is that this doppelgänger used to go by “Lita,” the same nickname as their deceased sister.

What begins as an eerie story of destiny, faith and improbable coincidence soon becomes a Pandora’s Box of stranger-than-fiction revelations and awkwardly comical mishaps in this “riveting” and “one-of-a-kind” documentary that is “complete with Lynchian echoes of Twin Peaks” (The Hollywood Reporter).

Reviews

There are so many twists

"There are so many twists and turns that by the end your like if this wasn't a true story and just a fictional movie you wouldn't believe it. Great documentary, one of the best finds in a couple years. A must purchase!"

— Bryan K. (5/5)

Intriguing

"The Gullspång Miracle plays out like a real-life thriller, slowly revealing layers that feel stranger than fiction. What starts as a quiet, human story keeps twisting in unexpected ways, pulling you deeper with each revelation. It’s gripping without being sensational, leaving you unsettled and thinking about it long after it ends."

— Shawn M. (4/5)

Lynchian Documentary

"I enjoyed the hell out of this. Very moody documentary, and the back of the slipcover is giving me Laura Palmer vibes."

— Jeffrey L. (4/5)

Great Documentary

"Watched the trailer and had to get a copy. The doc itself has a lot of unexpected twists and turns Filmmaker Maria Fredriksson talks about it in the interview in the extras. Highly recommended. ."

— Hansi L. (5/5)

The Gullspång Miracle

"I only watched half of the trailer before purchasing this and was sold. Intriguing premise from the start. But what this turns into, I definitely wasn’t expecting. The story is constantly evolving and becoming more interesting as the film progresses. The director had a special one on her hands. One of the better documentaries I’ve ever seen. There is one special feature included, what appears to be an online interview with the director. She shares some difficulties production experienced while filming and some updates. Wish it was a bit longer and more was included for this very special film. Love the packaging for this, beautiful design."

— Steven C. (5/5)

Awesome documentary

"So many twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out, these ladies really twist your brain. A documentary that becomes a mystery that becomes a reflection on history and belief. I think the original concept was surpassed and the director was talented enough to capture it to tell a compelling story without forcing an answer."

— Thomas F. (5/5)

Great film!
