Grabben i graven bredvid

this is just lovely. This movie will warm your heart and soul! This amazing feeling that Benny and his librarian share is really something to search for! Watch it now, it's not just sweet..it's a really funny movie too with such great lines!

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.

When Desirée, intellectual librarian with a mania for cleaning, meets and reluctantly falls for Benny, busy farmer with 24 milk cows and a 95-hour working week, everything is set up for a huge cultural clash. But what can they do when the sparks between them feels like "leaning against an electric fence"?

I thought that this dilemma was well illustrated, though sometimes a bit exaggerated - I don't believe that talking with your mouth full is typical "farmer behavior" - and the differences in life style between the two contracting parties gave rise to quite a few laughs in the movie theater. This movie also clearly illustrates how our opinion about someone is always colored by our prejudice, even if it's just unconsciously.

I recommend this film to everyone who likes Swedish movies, and also to those of you who, like me, are more sceptical to our nations film industry - this is a good one!

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 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 !
