491 (film)
''491'' is a 1964 Swedish black-and-white drama film directed by Vilgot Sjöman, based on a novel by . The story is about a group of youth criminals who are chosen to participate in a social experiment in which they are assigned to live together in an apartment while being supervised by two forgiving social workers. The film's tagline is: "It is written that 490 times you can sin and be forgiven. This motion picture is about the 491st." This controversial film, which featured a male homosexual rape scene, was first banned in Sweden, but was rereleased after reediting. One of the excised scenes depicted a woman being raped by a dog. The film was also banned in Norway until 1971. The reactions from especially conservative circles in Sweden were of disgust and outrage, and the outrage was among the reasons why the Christian Democratic Party was founded in 1964.

Vilgot Sjöman
David Harald Vilgot Sjöman (2 December 1924 – 9 April 2006) was a Swedish writer and film director. His films deal with controversial issues of social class, morality, and sexual taboos, combining the emotionally tortured characters of Ingmar Bergman with the avant garde style of the French New Wave. He is best known as the director of the films '' 491'' (1964), ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'' (in Swedish, "Jag är nyfiken – gul") (1967), and ''I Am Curious (Blue)'' ("Jag är nyfiken – blå") (1968), which stretched the boundaries of acceptability of what could then be shown on film, deliberately treating their subjects in a provocative and explicit manner. Career Sjöman was born in Stockholm, in a working-class family. His father, Anders W. Sjöman, was a builder; his mother was Mandis Pettersson. Sjöman became a clerk with a cereal company aged 15, but passed his ''studentexamen'' in 1945 and studied at the later Stockholm University. He then worked in a prison whil ...

Sven Algotsson
Sven (in Danish language, Danish and Norwegian language, Norwegian, also Svend and also in Norwegian most commonly Svein) is a Scandinavian first name which is also used in the Low Countries and German-speaking countries. The name itself is Old Norse for "young man" or "young warrior". The original spelling in Old Norse was ''sveinn''. Over the centuries, many northern European rulers have carried the name including Sweyn I of Denmark (Sven Gabelbart). An old legend relates the pagan king Blot-Sweyn, Blot-Sven ordered the execution of the Anglo-Saxon monk Saint Eskil. In medieval Swedish, "sven" (or "sven av vapen" (sven of arms)) is a term for squire. The female equivalent, Svenja, though seemingly Dutch and Scandinavian, is not common anywhere outside of German language, German-speaking countries. Sven can also be spelled with W, Swen, but is pronounced as Sven. The Icelandic language, Icelandic version of Sven/Svend is Sveinn (); the Faroese language, Faroese version is Svein ...
