How it feels
This silent comedy from 1928 pokes fun at the big historical epics that were popular in Sweden at the time. It tells a story about King Erik XIV but treats his life like a joke instead of a serious drama.

What happens
Erik XIV är en svensk svartvit stumfilm från 1928 i regi av Sam Ask och Otto Berch och med manus av Ask. Filmen var Asks första och enda regiuppdrag och är en parodi på de historiska filmer (bland andra Karl XII och Fänrik Ståls sägner) som hade dominerat det svenska filmutbudet den närmast föregående perioden.
