K.J. Yossman Swedish director Jonas Akerlund’s has a knack for merging music and visuals, having spent the first few decades of his career making videos for artists including Madonna, Beyonce, Ozzy Osbourne and Rammstein.In 2002 he made his directorial feature debut with “Spun,” a dark comedy featuring Jason Schwartzman and Mena Suvari, and has since continued to dabble in both music and feature films, occasionally combing the two with projects such as 2018’s “Lords of Chaos,” a horror film about Norway’s early 1990s black metal scene.
He was also set to direct “Midas Man,” a biopic of The Beatles’ legendary manager Brian Epstein, before parting ways with the production last winter. Akerlund’s latest project, Netflix limited series “Clark,” is not music-themed, although it’s very much informed by the music and culture of the ‘70s.
The show tells the story of notorious Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson (played by “It” star Bill Skarsgård) who terrorized Swedish society throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s. Olofsson is perhaps most famous for his involvement in the 1973 Norrmalmstorg robbery in which he and his former cellmate Jan-Erik Olsson spent five days holed up in a Stockholm bank with hostages.
