First thought is 'This isn't the way of narrative' but that's just because most of us grew up with Hollywood films, we always know the plot in 'typical' drama. When something (genous) like this is caught in the story there is no way to defend the feelings that moves you.

I don't want to give away what happens though if you read this, you've probably seen the episode. So I might as well recommend this series. See it back to back. Writing this with the experience 'It's only a movie' or 'I don't get upset, I've seen 'em all'

I cried when I saw this episode which is something I don't usually do. It has to count for something. Moving. The purest form of sorrow.

F.W. Murnau worked with this film for a several, or few years. Meanwhile the era of silent film ended, it was not as interesting as films with both picture and audio when finally finished.

Though there was at the same time some argues about how the sound in further films would sabotage the works of art. Sound had nothing to do with film in general.

As the viewer can see in this picture there aren't a lot of textual phrases between the silent clips - Murnau must have mostly relied on simple expressions and montage footage (as Sergei Eisenstein researched on a different continent at the same time). Also the director uses effects with pictures on pictures, what would be called special effects at the time.

For instance when George O Brien (playing the man) sits on the bed wondering about if he really should kill his wife and the other women suddenly appears as a ghost, holding him from behind.

Also animated texture makes this one of the last and remembered moving picture from the silent era.

This is the most tragic moving picture made as series ever, when it comes to why kids always nag about growing up. Even though the writer of this mini-series is a comedian it's so tragic you could burst into tears.

Jonas Gardell takes us to a suburban part of Sweden, somewhere in the 70'es. We follow Juha as a witness through harassment in the middle-grade, with the outsider, strange Thomas with his German mother and the next-door girl Jenny who's in love with him, and the tough boys in the class who checks out the girls in the locker-room. Well, Juha is stuck between all these scenarios and characters.

There is just one thing to do. Joke about it.

The "film" tells you all about how it sounds in a teenagers ears when adults say stuff like: "You'll just be glad as long as you're a kid".

Also how memories or traumatic events can scar you for the rest of your life even if you're a kid.

If you have an opportunity to see this, don't miss it.
