I watched my first Swedish movie tonight. Not being into Hollywood movies, forces one to search for films that are simply depiction of themes about human condition. What follows is not review of the film, I just want to introduce it
This little known film ( although nominated for an academy Award in the best foreign film category in 2005) deals with broad range of issues, from the ugliness of various forms of abuse and hypocrisy under the surface of a genteel community, to transcendent power of music in awakening each individual and uniting them in a triumphant expression of our shared humanity.
I hope at least a couple of readers watch this and start a conversation/discussion about this “little” gem.
This is a short clip from the film. It’s called Gabriella’s song.
