There was a social conservatism around sex that waylaid a number of Moodysson's films, so this was a delightful return to the generosity of his early films. I've seen this film twice, and may watch it third time this summer due to this recommendation.

Silly comment here, doesn't Liv LeMoyne look like a young Matt Damon? I had to look more than once, kept thinking you were spoofing and this was some earlier film of his. LOL

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but there's really no need to suffer through poorly reproduced bootlegs; the library has "Linda, Linda Linda" and most other movies recommended here.

True enough, Maria, but I can't assume that all my readers have a library with as deep a collection as yours (and mine). But, yes, default first step should be to Check Your Library.

Agreed. I'm enormously lucky to be living in Massachusetts (Framingham) with a great library network.
