Clinch (Harry Kvist)

An ultra-gritty piece of contemporary Swedish noir, set in a decrepit, highly atmospheric 1930s Stockholm that is a far cry from the modern, egalitarian capital city of today.Â

The writing's on the wall for Harry Kvist. Once a notorious boxer, he nowÂ spends his days drinking, and his nights chasing debts amongst the pimps,Â prostitutes and petty thieves of 1930s Stockholm. When women can't satisfyÂ him, men can. But one biting winter's night he pays a threatening visit to aÂ debtor named Zetterberg, and when the man is found dead shortlyÂ afterwards, all eyes are on Kvist.

Determined to avoid yet another stint in prison, Kvist sets out to track downÂ the only person who can clear his name. His hunt will lead him from the city'sÂ slums, gangster hideouts and gambling dens to its most opulent hotels andÂ elite nightclubs. It will bring him face to face with bootleggers and whores,Â aristocrats and murderers. It will be the biggest fight of his life.

Blending noir with gritty violence, Clinch is a visceral, compulsive thriller thatÂ packs a punch and leaves you reeling.
