The latest role of Claes Bang as a masseur of Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler in the film "I Is Another" is certainly a thought-provoking one, especially given the historical context of the story. As a Serbian audience, it's interesting to consider how this film will be received, given the complex and often tumultuous history between Serbia and the rest of Europe. The fact that the film is based on a true story and focuses on the life of Felix Kersten, who claimed to have saved numerous lives during the war, adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

The film's premiere at Locarno is also noteworthy, as it suggests that "I Is Another" is being positioned as a serious contender in the international film festival circuit. This could potentially lead to a wider release and more attention for the film, which would be interesting to watch, especially given the current state of the film industry. With the rise of streaming services and the increasing demand for content, it's possible that "I Is Another" could find a significant audience, particularly among those interested in historical dramas and World War II stories.

As we look to the future, it will be interesting to see how "I Is Another" is received by audiences and critics alike. Claes Bang's performance as a complex and potentially conflicted character will likely be a major factor in the film's success, and his comments about playing John Paul in "Bad Sisters" as one of his "worst characters" suggest that he is drawn to playing complex and nuanced roles.
