Lucky Blue

I never was much of a fan of the short film genre. this movie proved me wrong and how. i was blown over by the sheer restraint that the director showed. not too long, not short - just perfect.

added to this is the brilliant performances by the cast. The sets are nice and the score is great.but what makes it a gem is the feeling that if such and such were the circumstances, this is the way that it would happen. you just marvel at the realism. And wish the tale for yourself - in real.

OK - words don't come easy to me- either:)

Strongly recommended..

For me, this film is a masterpiece -- albeit its short length.

It all began when Kevin happen to travel with his aunt and met with Olle in a holiday trailer park. Considering its short length of the film - I would feel remorse of disclosing any plot after this :).

What being the most powerful way the director managed this film is that - instead of using complex plot, tragedies, and multiple characters that many full length movies use- the director has eliminated all these noises and focused into the 'passion' and 'affection' component of the film and let those carries the story until its very end which makes this movie very powerful.

I had never been impressed with 'coming out' short story because most of them ends in either separation, deaths, tragedy or just filled with other ambiguities that leaves the audience lingering unsatisfied. But Lucky Blue proves me wrong.

The simplicity and the short length of the film, for me, certainly has accomplished its true purpose that is not only to entertain but also to inspire and gives hope to people affected by such sensitive issue.

That lovely idea of a teenage summer romance that we've all wanted, but struggled to find. But is it all worth it, is he good enough? And what's with all the bad karaoke?

This movie is not just about the two guys, it's the scene, plot, all the people, music, ... everything put together just right!

I haven't seen any of these actors in other movies but nevertheless their talents prove beyond a doubt that they are more than capable actors and time will tell that they are all highly professional and talented. In fact, I am sure there are people who will agree that these actors are better than many of the most popular.

Credit has to also be given to director, Håkon Liu. Mr. Liu has succeeded in combining all the right ingredients, people and elements in a triumphant in film.

Excellent film that I enjoy watch it many time from time to time, observing in their details. The performance of the cast is excellent much better than famous actors, especially Olle (Tobias Bengtsson) who knows to show perfectly the innocence, brave and love. His sweet and fresh smile fits very well in the film. Credit for the director and the scriptwriter too. it will be one of my film that I keep it close to me, because when after seeing the short film, I can feel the love on the air with a happy ending, that make me feel cheerful. It is a good example of good short film with low budget and only four actors. Thanks for festival I could to know about this films and others,that inspire me to write some short novels and scripts.
