Wide Open

NOTICE: This title is intended for viewers 18+ due to mature themes.

Christina Lindberg stars in this late-era Swedish exploitation feature, marking one of her final leading roles in a theatrical production.

Lindberg reunites with Solveig Andersson (both previously seen in Thriller: A Cruel Picture and Swedish Wildcats) in Wide Open, a gritty relationship drama set against Stockholm’s underground nightlife. Taxi driver Paul and his journalist girlfriend Marianne struggle with mounting tensions in their relationship. After a chaotic evening that begins with family conflict and spirals into a wild party, their lives intersect with shady figures and increasingly dangerous circumstances.

As jealousy, crime, and betrayal escalate, a stolen mink coat, drugs, and criminal manipulation pull the characters deeper into Stockholm’s darker social circles. The story builds toward a volatile confrontation that reflects the era’s fascination with boundary-pushing cinema.

Blending relationship drama, crime elements, and provocative themes, Wide Open remains a notable entry in 1970s Scandinavian exploitation filmmaking.
