elmindreda 
elmindreda I've been told for ages that this is a must see movie(1), and I finally did, Anna had a copy that she brought(2)... and basically, I can see why quite a lot of people recommend it, it's quite a lot about the stuff that kids in Sweden go through during their teens(3). It's about love, it's about confusion, it's about not quite knowing or understanding who you are, and it's about fear of seeming "not normal" and what consequences that could bring.
Charlie used to mention this movie
as well, quite a few times(4), and
now that I've finally seen it, I can understand why, it does bring
along a queer feel good feeling, it's a bit of a coming out movie
as well, and about the courage (or insanity 
) needed to come
through with who you are when you break the norm.
I'm glad I finally saw this one. It's taken some time, possibly because I've this prejudice about Swedish movies, that they usually aren't very good that I need to break through. But I've seen it finally, and I'm glad I did.

BTW, you anglo-saxons probably don't recognise the name, it was translated to Show Me Love, probably mostly because that's the name of the song Robyn sings at the end, but still, that's a valid title as well, although boring. ↩

not me, though... what is shown in the movie, and stories I've heard others talk about, they are strange things to me, it's like nothing I went through (did I go through anything? Can't quite recall). I've seen it around me, I've been in the middle of it once, but that was almost like going to the zoo, if you know what I mean... ↩
