Life

Roland Schütt was the son of Fritiof and Zipa Schütt. Zipa was a Russian Jew and a childhood sweetheart of the later painter Marc Chagall . She fled Russia and settled in Stockholm, where she married the unemployed Fritiof and, in addition to Roland, became the mother of the writer Bertil Schütt . To keep the family afloat, she sold tobacco, socialist literature, and illegally condoms. Roland Schütts youth was shaped by violence and poverty. He lived temporarily in a reform home.

He wrote down his youth in 1989 in his literary debut Kådisbellan . Åke Sandgren filmed the book, which was released in German cinemas on November 17, 1994 under the German title Die Schleuder . Here took Jesper Salén the role of young Roland, while Stellan Skarsgard played his father and the Zipa of Basia Frydman was represented. According to the lexicon of international films, the "milieu portrayal, interspersed with wit and humor, [...] excellently played" was awarded the Swedish Guldbagge Film Prize in 1994 as best film .

Schütt died at the age of 92 on November 10, 2005 in the Stockholm district of Vasastan.
