Kniven i hjärtat (2004)
Touching
This is a movie/mini series with many bad sides. But it is still a movie which should be seen by more than just the very limited audience it has reached out to. I know it's not hard to find this "movie" nowadays, and especially if you're not Swedish, or at least speak Swedish. But if you ever get the chance to see it, then take it! Though it's faults it's a very touching and beautiful movie about how complicated life is, seen from the suburban life including cultural problems, family issues and opportunities that presents and that doesn't present themselves. For those who don't have any experience of the (swedish =)) suburbs, it's a rarely seen and very positive way to get some.
Ett hål i mitt hjärta (2004)
Disgusting and beautiful
The movie is disgusting, I must say that. But it's also brilliant in so many ways, not least the artistic. It's not a typical Moodysson, but the it's certainly his touch. It's about peoples different personalities or faces, about deep thoughts and the most private emotions. Emotions and thoughts that Moodysson express so truly throughout this movie.
It's hardcore, nothing for those with weak stomachs (nor the prude!), but if you can stand it and get by those small clips of dead movie meat, the it's a movie you can't possibly miss. Even though you might find it worthless and a waste of time.
You shouldn't expect a typical Moodysson movie, cause it isn't though you can see his specific touch throughout the movie. Also you should probably be Swedish to fully understand it, but I couldn't say for sure since I only have my (swe) point of view.
Finally I just think that I should mention that i were more or less enchanted by it throughout most of the film. I can't recall having paid that much attention to a movie and it's purpose for a long time.
Watch it and be the judge for yourselves Stefan
