Kniven i hjärtat

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.

The first time I watched these episodes about one of the 'ghettos' in Gothenburg called Bergsjön, I thought it was really cool - why, I can't remember. The second time watching it I started noticing how stupid everything about this movie was. There is no real plot and the actors are, well, bad... Whatever they do as actors and actresses seems fake and too rehearsed. My friends and I nowadays joke about this stuff, just as we joke about the movie Sökarna, which is famous for bad acting, stupid plot, and things that are apparent in Kniven i hjärtat. It is very much worth watching, but don't go expecting it all to feel real.
