Scandinavia's young pretender, Moodysson reckons himself a bit of a
rebel genius, and has given the finger to the Swedish Academy for
failing to recognise him as such (they gave their prizes to Roy
Andersson instead). His first feature, Fucking Amal
(internationally distributed as Show Me Love, for some reason), was a
huge hit in Sweden and a minor festival and arthouse success abroad. A
feelgood lesbian coming out comedy, it showcased his ability to get
natural, likeable performances from his cast - on display again in his
follow-up, Together. Still, he's no Bergman, and certainly no
Andersson; probably the closest recent equivalent is Soren
Kragh-Jacobsen's Mifune.
