Something Happened (Swedish: Någonting har hänt) is a Swedish film directed by Roy Andersson. The film was conceived as an educational film about AIDS, but raised controversy and was withdrawn. The film claims that HIV was developed in American military laboratories, and that its well-established African origin is a cover-up conspiracy by the Americans. Today the film is regarded as a significant step in the development of the style seen in the director's later and more acclaimed films.

Synopsis

Roy Andersson explore les ravages de l’épidémie du sida dans une succession de tableaux absurdes et glaçants.

Hervé Guibert met en scène les derniers moments de sa vie en utilisant des images de son quotidien de malade du sida. Les séquences sont tournées dans son appartement (dans sa chambre à coucher, sa salle de bains, ses toilettes), chez ses grand-tantes, en milieu hospitalier (lors d’une biopsie, lors d’un suivi médical) et sur l’île d'Elbe. Des entretiens avec des proches ponctuent le film. Le film mêle des images d’une grande dureté et des images poétiques. Dans Le Protocole compassionnel, Hervé Guibert écrit « Je crois que nous venons de tourner un des documentaires les plus bizarres qui soient »
