You can love people despite and sometimes because of their weaknesses. Human beings are a bit rubbish really, but we have big hearts and we try our best, despite temptation. It's not our fault when sometimes temptation can't be resisted, that's just who we are.
There is a consistent stylishness from start to finish; crisp photography and sharp composition, very pleasant viewing when you add provocative content, well suited music and laugh out loud scripting.
Watch out for the very young "lone wise voice"... brilliant; wisdom from innocence balancing comedy from the human condition.
All cast members perform well, and this film could have been a tremendous hit all over the world if it was made in England or the US. But for those of you who are fortunate enough to understand Swedish, you are in for a treat!
Highly recommended.
I like Felix Herngren as Frank but that is not enough even when it is a comedy it has to have more variations and some kind of message to it's audience....
Felix Herngren plays Frank, a bored 30-year-old lawyer whose life crisis prompts him to an affair with a young art student he meets at his eccentric friend's (Fredrik Lindström) art gallery. Frank's wife on the other hand falls for the suave journalist Georg played by Mikael Persbrandt.
Through a consistent use of voice-overs blending Frank's sexual fantasies, obsessions and guilty conscience we follow his search of an eventful, unpredictable new life.
Cecilia Ljung is particularly good as Nenne's increasingly worried best friend Rosie, Persbrandt hilarious as her unfaithful husband and Härenstam brilliant as Frank's prim , dry boss. But the film belongs to the excellent Felix Herngren, funny and moving in an apt and well-written part.
One of the best Swedish comedies in recent years.
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Sofia calls Frank on his cell phone at home, she really does call him, from the other room.
- GoofsThe spelling "Philgren" would in Swedish normally indicate pronunciation with an F. An adequate "fancy" spelling of "Pilgren" would rather be Pihlgren.
In the TV series sequel that has followed the movie in 2022, Frank's name is indeed spelled Pihlgren.
