I enjoy a great deal of Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom's films for their moving, bittersweet tone. His first US release (albeit ABBA videos) is astounding and pure in Hallstrom's brilliant storytelling. Ingmar simply is a boy who no one can understand. He is consumately nervous; embittered by his mother's untimely departure. He must move to a sweet small town he eventually finds charming.
There is a great deal of people who live their lives as they please in is new town. Still, that does not give peace to his terrified soul.
With a smashing (and barking) performance by gifted Swede toddler, Anton Glandzelius, "My Life as a Dog" is a beautiful film. Make sure you see the subtitled version to hear Anton's impassioned dialogue!
