I bought this DVD based on a childhood memory of the movie ECCO. What may have been cutting edge weirdness in 1966 is absolute boring nonsense in 2011. Even the narration borders on monotone. Neither movie has anything of interest and nothing that could remotely be considered shocking today, not even the somewhat famous reindeer castration scene. Almost as boring as the so called "thriller" Gods Of Ruin. Do not waste your time or money on this garbage.

Both films are of historical value and farely accuarat as far as the swedish oddities goes of which I can be a judge, since I have lived in Stockholm in those times. This goes for the film "ecco".
The beauty of these documentaries pointed out as fraud, is that we, if we are intelligent enough, realize that everything we see and hear about history is fraud, unless it corresponds with our own view of life, which, by and large, means that the more moral amongst us always have the more accurate history to convey unless they are brainwashed into believing the "official" history.
For further enlightenment see "Wag the Dog".
O yeah, I almost forgot, it's nice to hear the voice of George Sanders, one of my favorite actors!
