Grabben i graven bredvid

This film is filmed in the north of swedens biggest city, Luleå. I'm from Luleå myself, and that makes it all so much funnier. A farmer (played by Michael Nyqvist)meets a girl on the cementery, in the sabbath next to his mothers. The eat a sausage and the whole film ends up pretty good !

This film touched my heart in many ways.

This film has showed whatever the different world you may have, love overcomes all the obstacles in the world.

There aren't so many films who can be so god like this one.

The actors are very good in their rolls.

This Swedish film gives you a feel-good factor of the highest order. No longer think, Swedish film, therefore culturally long-winded Ingmar Bergman. This happy-go-lucky film takes you on a whirlwind tour of fun and friviolity to sadness and seriousness and back again. You will love the characters and the story lines. The pace is swift, never boring and you hope that it will never finish. Watching and listening in either Swedish or using the subtitles works very well. You will be telling yourself that, yes, it is possible to watch a Swedish film twice! I watched it seven times! It is a popular film for the members in the Swedish language group that I attend. Did you enjoy the style of Bridget Jones's Diary or Notting Hill? Then don't miss this film either. I am ready for the sequel!

Another Swedish movie from the Stockholm horizon about a small city in the north of Sweden. Sometimes one wonders if you are supposed to laugh at the province and be assured in your prejudices. Probably that's the creator's idea.

This is about the dirty farmer who meets the librarian living an "unreal" life, which he obviously isn't. There is absolutely no surprises here. From the beginning to the end you know what will happen the next three minutes. OK acting by Elisabeth Carlsson and especially by Michael Nyqvist, but you still feel disappointed like you thought you would.

Honestly I watched this movie because I had seen Michael Nyqvist's performance in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movies and I was wondering if he had been a good actor before those or they were the ones that kind of "made him". I have to say that he indeed was a brilliant actor in 2002 when this movie came out. On the top of that this film has actually a female lead (I think Elisabet Carlsson deserves a lot of credit because her acting is outstanding too) and they are both very believable in their roles. All right, the story is far from being original. We have seen two people from different backgrounds hang out before like a thousand times. So the story is the reason why I gave the movie only eight stars because the acting is spot on (not even the supporting actors make a single fault). Dialogues and camera work are all excellent. Finally, I have to say I'm so glad that every Swedish review I have read so far was really positive. I have studied Swedish at the university and we were taught that Swedish women get offended when receiving old fashioned courtship and this movie proves exactly the opposite thing. Eight stars and a great movie.
