Popular Music ( Swedish: Populärmusik från Vittula) is a Swedish-Finnish comedy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 24 September 2004, [1] based on the novel of the same name by Mikael Niemi. [2]
Release
The movie was released on September 24 in Sweden, but only in cinemas in Norrland for the first week, with the rest of Sweden starting to receive copies on October 1. A representative for Swedish distributor SF stated this was intended as a reversal of a common situation where smaller cinemas in Norrland would have to wait for weeks for copies of new films. [3]
