Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton (1975)
The morality booster of the year!
This short animated film is shown once a year on Christmas eve in Sweden and it can´t be missed. Karl Bertils sweet mind helps us common mortals to behave for another year. The tale is narrated by the lovely voice of Tage Danielsson, a wonderful comedian, now past away.
Mifunes sidste sang (1999)
Dogma with a smile!
I´m a big fan of the innovative and daring Danish film scene and "the Dogma" has of course a big part of its success. "Mifune" follows in the right tracks but unlike previous dogma history I was delighted to encounter a happy ending for a change. Iben Hjejle and Anders W Berthelsen are perfect as the fumbelers that finally find each other and of course a Danish film, any film really, is not full without Paprika Steen.
Tillsammans (2000)
One long and sometimes painful walk down memory lane
The scenery is next to perfect, the hideous brown t-shirts and the striped woolen sweaters, that itched and were too tight and the music and the milk cartons and the strong beliefs. In the opening scene every member of the socialist collective cheer after hearing the radio announcement that Franco has died.
After seeing the movie, it just makes you wonder, did they really love more, believed more strongly and cried out their opinion much higher in the glorious year of 1975 and if so, where are we now?
Dancer in the Dark (2000)
I cried a waterfall
The movie is just so brilliant and so sad in a real way, not a Hollywood-the heroine is dying of cancer, while the violins play-fake kind of way. The fact that "Björk" is as talented in acting as she is in singing make you realize that some people got it and others are destined to stand impressed.
