Ravens (Swedish: '''Korparna''') is a 2017 Swedish thriller film directed by Jens Assur, based on the novel Korparna by Tomas Bannerhed.[1]
In the 1970s Sweden, the farmer Agne (Reine Brynolfsson) is plagued by the work on the farm, and by the feeling that someone wants his family bad. The oldest son Klas (Jakob Nordström), who Agne wants to take over the farm, seeks himself to the worlds of birds, but as the outer threats increase, he faces an inevitable choice, fly or stay.
Ravens received mostly positive reception by the Swedish critics,[2] with many celebrated the film for its acting and cinematography,[3] [4] while others criticized it for having a long runtime, and the lack of dialogue.[5]
