First Aid Kit 'Blue' by Daniel Wirtberg

David Knight - 9th July 2012

A classy Swedish-made video for the sisters Söderberg, aka First Aid Kit, and their lovely song Blue. It's an absorbing tale directed by Daniel Wirtberg - who directed the haunting and mysterious video for Little Dragon's Crystalfilm a few months back - and featuring Ewa Fröling as a faded, Garbo-esque beauty, working up the courage to leave the seclusion of her rambling mansion.

"We wanted to make an homage to old classic movies and create a vintage feeling that felt right for the song," says Daniel. "The video is shot in a really old mansion in the midwest of Sweden, where we got full access and could dress it the way we wanted.<br/>Production designer Anna Natalia Siemonsen did an amazing job in building the universe of this woman, and really used the props to help tell the story. "Ewa Fröling - one of the lead actresses of Ingmar Bergman´s <em>Fanny and Alexander</em> - fell for the treatment and decided to play the woman, which of course was a pure bliss for the production. As an actress she possesses just the qualities I was looking for in this character. "A big crew of devoted and talented people made this video possible, working <em>pro bono</em> out of passion for the film storytelling so that production value could match the treatment despite the video´s low budget." http://www.youtube.com/watchv=IL-sm1rEtiU&amp;hd=1
