Låt den rätte komma in (2008)
Best Foreign Film I've Ever Seen
There really are no appropriate words I can use to express how deeply I appreciated and adored this fine work of art, but I guess I'll try. Definitely watch this film if you are a in indie film lover, or movie- buff. The lighting and the mood fits brilliantly to the whole vampire and loneliness scenario. The film is bleak, but in a mesmerising way, and just captivates you, catapulting you into a romantic world of darkness and love. The acting between the young boy and the 12 year old vampire girl is amazing for their age. They present themselves in a highly mature manner, which proposes that even children may be capable of sharing a complex, deep love for each other. Watch this film, it is utterly sweet and really hits the spot.
All the Pretty Horses (2000)
Plain and Dishonest
I had high hopes for this film, as it was based on a beautifully crafted, dry novel by Cormac McCarthy. Whose usual habit is to focus immensely on the harsh reality and depravity which often comes with human existence. I did not get the same enthralling sensation watching the film as I did when reading the novel. The film lacked in the quality which came with reading the novel and was utterly frustrating to view. Not to mention the fact that the novel was largely a coming of age text, as the two main protagonists were supposed to be 16 years old, however in the film they looked like they were in their mid thirties. In saying that, the film blatantly ignored that aspect of the original text. Don't watch the film if you've read the novel, it'll disappoint you.
