In '' Expressen '' , Lasse Bergström , called it " one of the most important political films ever made in Sweden " . He further wrote " '' The White Game '' expresses in images what Olof Palme have been saying in words : ' politics is will ' . " And it demonstrates clearly that the protests was a victory for the young generation ... and a defeat for the sports-movement , which , regrettably , no longer shares their ideals . " Bergström meant that most importantly , '' The White Game '' showed a young , politically aware , generation , which saw Sweden as a force of good in the world and — if worst came to worst — were prepared to fight for their belief . Lennart Jönsson , wrote in '' Dagens Nyheter '' that '' The White Game '' gave the first complete view of the protests . Through the film , one received a clear view of the difference between the demonstrators and those that were for the game . " Grupp 13 's film shows clearly , that the demonstrators are relatively knowledgeable people , aware of social and political problems , and also aware that these problems can not be solved — entirely — by parliamentary means . Against them stands a group — with comparatively weak arguments , unclear ideas of law and order , and a weak interest for important international issues — backed by a strong police power . This is indeed a serious conflict of interests . " Film critic Hanserik Hjertén , complained in '' Svenska Dagbladet '' that the filmmakers showed some bias , posing a few overly rhetorical questions . However , Hjertén 's overall impression of the film was positive , and he wrote that " a piece of modern Swedish history of significant value is brought into the limelight " . After underlining the film 's dramatic structure and the conflicts of not only moral importance that it illuminated , Hjertén wrote " The film shows an interesting polarity in Sweden : between intellectuals and non-intellectuals , and between sense of duty and private opinion . It is overall an impressive work , and an important contribution to future debate . " Together with another documentary about Båstad , called '' The Truth About Båstad '' ( Swedish : '' Sannigen om Båstad '' ) by Lars Westman , '' The White Game '' was awarded the 1968 Chaplin Magazine Award . In 1969 it the award for Best Film at the 6th Guldbagge Awards . The award money , approximately 350,000 SEK , more than covered the production costs of the film , which was a box office failure
