I will start by saying that running at 2 hours, which was a bit too long, "Lust och Fägring Stor" (aka "All Things Fair") is a movie that is somewhat of an acquired taste. I found the movie to be interesting and well-told, although it could have used a trimming to cut Down a lot of the unnecessary fillings.
The story is about a 15 year old student who seduces his 37 year old classroom teacher. The story is set in Sweden during the 2nd World War in 1943.
The movie has some good acting performances, and it is carried nicely by the two lead talents Johan Widerberg and Marika Lagercrantz. And they were joined by an equally strong supporting act by Thomas Von Brömssen.
"Lust och Fägring Stor" deals with the taboo of love and lust between an adolescent and an adult, which might be a bit too much for some people. But it also deals with sibling love between brothers, as well as the journey from adolescence to adulthood.
This is one of the more hard-punching movies in Swedish cinema. Some might even claim that the movie appeals to a very select audience. But I would say that if you enjoy cinema with a deeper profound story and meaning then you should take two hours to watch "Lust och Fägring Stor".
