Gösta Hellström (1908-1932) had a short career, passing from tubercolosis shortly after the release of his first experimental short film Tango, as well as working together with Elis Ellis on the more conventional feature Sten Stensson Stéen från Eslöv på nya äventyr. He was seen as a promising bright star in Swedish film and his passing was mourned by many. Hellström’s love for cinema and interest in film theory can be seen in both his own films, and especially Tango where he had more creative control, but also in Gustaf Molander’s En Natt where he worked as assistant director. Having met Eistenstein in Moscow and taking interest in his montage theories, Hellström is often seen as the influence of the ’Soviet style’ of Molander’s film. Tango is a further, and sadly the final, example of how Hellström worked with Eisenstein’s theories in order to craft a compelling and interesting film.
