Shed No Tears (Swedish: Känn ingen sorg) is a 2013 Swedish film directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein and starring Adam Lundgren and Jonathan Andersson. The plot is based on the lyrics and music by Swedish artist Håkan Hellström, and the script is written by Cilla Jackert. The film premiered on 19 July 2013[1] and was well received by critics. It won the Guldbagge Award for Best Sound Editing at the 49th Guldbagge Awards.[4]
The main role is played by Adam Lundgren, while Tomas von Brömssen, Gunilla Nyroos and Josefin Neldén appear in supporting roles. Even Håkan Hellström himself appears in a minor role.[5] The film's title is based on Hellström's debut single "Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg" from the album of the same name.
The film received extensive good reviews, and 27,766 Swedes saw it at the cinema on the opening weekend, which took it up to Biotoppens second place.[6] The following week it had dropped down to sixth place,[7] and at the end of the year was the year's fifth highest grossing Swedish film.[3]
