”Cornelis” is the unique chronicle about one of Sweden’s greatest music legends - Cornelis Vreeswijk. An honest and gripping account of an exceptionally talented, but self-destructive artist’s intense life both on and behind the stage. A man who during his whole life was searching for love and confirmation.

Amir Chamdin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vreeswijk is basically Swedish national heritage; this film was controversial for not sanitizing his uglier sides.
Husby, a punk rocker with no formal acting training, spent months learning Dutch-Swedish dialect and guitar to embody Cornelis.
