Henrik Källberg

Henrik Källberg, born December 16, 1977, over in Södertälje, Sweden—yeah, that’s the guy behind some pretty wild editing choices in films that really don’t play by the usual rules. This dude’s fingerprints are all over “Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann,” which, honestly, is that bonkers Swedish comedy about a centenarian who just nopes out of his own birthday party by climbing out the window and stumbling into a string of ridiculous adventures. Seriously, the movie’s got explosions, a suitcase full of cash, gangsters, and flashbacks to some of the 20th century’s wildest historical moments—all stitched together with this offbeat energy that makes you wonder if you’re watching a Coen brothers flick, but with more meatballs. Then there’s “The 101-Year-Old Man Who Skipped Out on the Bill and Disappeared,” which basically takes that same chaotic vibe, cranks it up, and runs even further off the rails. If you thought the first one was nuts, this sequel is like, “hold my beer.” Once again, our not-so-helpless old man gets tangled up in global conspiracies, nuclear formulas, and a cast of characters who would probably get kicked out of a Wes Anderson movie for being too weird. And, oh, “Misconduct” (2016)—totally different flavor. It’s a thriller, all sharp edges and dark twists, with Henrik flexing a whole other set of editing muscles. The pace is tense, the scenes snap together like puzzle pieces, and you can really feel that Scandinavian attention to detail. Källberg’s work? Not just cutting scenes; he’s shaping the whole vibe, making sure the story’s got kick and style. Not your average editor, that’s for sure.
