Stockholm (2018)

Celluloid Fever Dreams

It's a movie! It's a European capital! It's a psychological syndrome! Ethan Hawke(Gattaca) plays a bank robber who takes Noomi Rapace(Lamb) hostage in this 2018 heist comedy. Based on the actual events from 1973 the hostages eventually take the side of the robbers versus the police, which leads to the coining of the phrase Stockholm Syndrome to explain the psychology behind it. Host Wyndham Jennings will talk about the actual robbery, other cases of Stockholm syndrome, Steve McQueen's Mustang, and why films based on true stories should have a "Where Are They Now?" segment at the end.

Other films to check out: Shimmer Lake, Dog Day Afternoon, The Town, Trapped in Paradise, Queenpins, Have a Nice Day, Eat Your Bones, Bullit, Vanishing Point, Badlands
