Lithivm

Lithivm also known as Lithium Europe is a Swedish horror thriller from 1998 directed by David Flamholc and Swedish voice acting veteran Fredrik Dolk and Johan Widerberg. The title of the film is a stylised spelling of Lithium which is used to treat people with schizophrenia.

The film was shot in Stockholm using 16mm reverse film that was later blown up to 35mm. This created much grain. The cinematography Flamholc and Mrten Nilsson was going for, was a further stylisation of the techniques they had used in Nightbus 807. Lithvim was the third and final film Flamholc made with Fredrik Dolk and his final fiction film to date. The film did receive support from the Swedish Film Institute.The film bombed on the Swedish box office and was declared one of the worst Swedish films of all time. In the US the film was on the other hand received very well, the film won Young Filmmaker Award at Hollywood Film Festival. And Variety wrote Flamholc visual storytelling is already a paragon of young Nordic cinema responding to and possibly setting late90s trends. Production values on 500,000 pic are memorable, from Kenneth Cosimos jarring techno score to d.p. Marten Nilssons stunning images, which at extreme moments saturate the screen with ultragrainy textures in a urinelike yellow. ........
