| Brief Description: | Eager to escape her abusive husband, a suburban housewife gathers her two children and retreats to a commune in Stockholm run by her brother. Awash in the laid-back, mid-1970's vibe of free love, free thought, nudity, and recreational drug use, the crazy commune turns out to be less-than-ideal for its new members. Director Lukas Moodysson (Show Me Love) lends an essential dose of humanity to the absurdity, creating very real characters, touching moments and well-deserved laughs. "Relaxed, intimate, wonderfully clear-eyed and altogether charming" (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times). In Swedish with English subtitles. |
