The San Diego Swedish Center is screening the Swedish comedy Kopps, at the Hall of Nations in Balboa Park.
Kopps is a Swedish comedy from 2003, directed by Josef Fares. In the movie you will follow the police officer Benny, who is obsessed with American police clichés and livens up his own boring everyday life with dreams of duels with bad guys. But poor Benny and his colleagues don't have much to do in the small town of Högboträsk, Sweden. Most of their days are spent drinking coffee, eating sausage waffles and chasing down stray cows. Peace and quiet is the dream of every politician, but for the Swedish authorities, the lack of crooks is reason to close the local police station. When the cops investigate a suspected act of vandalism, they realize that they themselves may be able to raise the crime statistics high enough to stay in business. So the station decides to quietly make some crime of it's own, with chaotic and very unpredictable results! In Swedish with English subtitles.
Admission: FREE but donations always welcome.
