Bron/Broen (2011)
Quite OK series
I've only seen the first episode - but from what I can tell dialogue is OK and characters are portrayed in a balanced manner. The female head actress is obviously "playing/having" aspbergers syndrome and I would say that she's doing a decent job. For earlier reviewer that did not realize this - give it another go.
Usually these Swedish series are quite lame and often you can "see" the script being read out loud. This is not the case with "Bron" and the story line is nicely established giving some nice cliffhangers along the film. In addition I think the filming is nicely composed with nice details in the photography. I will see the second episode tonight and will update my review :)

Pure joy!
One of my absolute favorites! It's fun, it's beautiful and you can feel the true joy of life in this film. Sabina is so beautiful and it's a liberation to see how Stephane slowly becomes a part of their life style and slowly understands that women dancing and cheering to the music is part of their life. I often listen to Balkan music and music like Cumbia one of the best parts is listening to the people in the background cheering and singing along! It's hard to come by - but I found it on amazon and it made my day :) Kustarica is good - but this is great! My favorite scene is towards the end where Stephane and Sabina goes to "the city" to party and they start to play a wedding-like song and they start to crash porcelain on the floor - by then Stephane has become a true convert to Roman :D
