The Swedish Theory of Love is a 2016 Swedish documentary film directed by Erik Gandini.
The documentary offers a critical look into the ideas and practice of "state individualism". Most benefits of the welfare state are in Sweden connected with the individual and seeks to promote their individual autonomy, whereas in other countries the institutions of the welfare state are more focused on households. In Swedish this ideology is called statsindividualism (literally, "state individualism"). The film examines at how this has affected Swedish society since the 1960s.
One reviewer said that "It doesn’t really add up to much of an argument, jollied along as it is by stylised editing and jaunty ironic music."[1]
