Stefan Jarl has made many good documentaries (the Mods-trilogy, the film about Ricky Bruch, another one about Bo Widerberg etc.). Muraren is 95 minutes of Thommy Berggren, actor, talking about his father, his working-class background, and some episodes from the world of theatre and cinema. The scene in which he recalls how he wouldn't listen to Ingmar Bergman's directions ("Ni ska sitta som på dagis!") is hilarious (for some reason most anything that relates to Ingmar B in real life is hilarious, even when, especially when, Ingmar B tells the stories himself). It's a good documentary.
(Speaking of Thommy Berggren: Elvira Madigan is one of those films I hated while watching it but now I cannot really remember why.)
