A refined and stylized work that is perhaps the greatest comedy of the Swedish silent film era and a film that influenced Ernst Lubitsch. In this adaptation of Hungarian playwright Ferenc Herczeg’s play The Blue Fox, no expense was spared to compete with the Hollywood films flooding Swedish markets. Even the members of the Stockholm Opera were enlisted as extras to perform the specially commissioned play within a play for the movie. In stark contrast to many of the other works by Mauritz Stiller, Erotikon is set entirely in an urban milieu and openly challenges social taboos in the story of a wife simultaneously courting two lovers.
