With the film “Call Girl” from 2012, Marietta broke new ground in Swedish contemporary cinema. The film is a deep dive into dark social and political secrets, during a time when Sweden was considered a flawless democracy. The film shattered the image of Sweden as an innocent, just society, and became an artistic prequel to the me-too awareness.
Mariettas latest projects include writing for “Ragnarok”, a modern drama rooted in Norse mythology, for Netflix and “Den svenska torpeden”, selected for the Toronto International Film Festival. She is currently writing her next feature film.
