Ett skjul av furu trä (2004)
Exciting dark drama/comedy
This movie has many likenesses to those made by the Danish writer/director Anders Thomas Jenssen, although I would say this is even more dark and daring, given the controversial subject and the innovative use of animated sequences to further push the quirky sickness of Darborgs work. Needless to say this is not suitable for children, nor is it likely to be apreciated by "the Man on the Street". This is komplex underground stuff for the true movie buff; Swedish celebrity critic Gabriel Mård hailed this as the best Swedish movie since Bergmans "Fanny and Alexander" from 1983. I think he might've exaggerated a bit, but I can't say he's wrong.
A true masterpiece.
The Matrix (1999)
You know... for kids.
No. If anyone would happen to believe that this idea is new, you're wrong. If anyone would consider this idea as original or clever... well, then I can only presume that you haven't exactly seen lot's of other movies. Lawrence Fishburne should be thrown out of Hollywood for doing this. His character, Morpheus, hasn't got one decent line in the whole movie (his supposed to be some kind of wise man, but he delivers the most laughable lines since Ed Wood). Of course, if you like good effects and action you'll be pleased. Just don't expect it to be extraordinary.
Amateur (1994)
Maybe the most underestimated movie of all times.
This is without any doubt one of the best films ever made. The plot is pretty complex, four persons (all terrible amateurs) trying to live their lives without mutch knowledge 'bout the subject. The conversations are wonderful, the acting is awesome (especially Isabelle Huppert, her performance is a masterpiece you haven't seen since...Vertigo?). This is the only film I've ever seen three times in a row.I couldn't stop myself. An interesting thing about it is that not only the main, but even the smallest and least important characters are truly amateurs. The police girl, the video store guy, the café girl... Ain't we all after all?
