The release of '' Il Capitano : A Swedish Requiem '' ( '' Il Capitano '' , 1991 ) became controversial since the film is based upon a true story ; the brutal murder of a Swedish family just a few years earlier ( see Juha Valjakkala ) . Yet , it concentrates on the psychological power game between the murderer and his girlfriend rather than the violence of the crime . He was awarded with the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival . It also won the award for Best Film at the 27th Guldbagge Awards
