Åmål is a small insignificant town where nothing ever happens, where the latest trends are out of date when they get there. Young Elin has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to guys, but the fact is that she is inexperienced in that matter. Another girl in her school, Agnes, is in love with her but is too shy to do anything about it. For a number of reasons, Elin ends up at Agnes' birthday party as the only guest. They have a girl's night out together but after that Elin desperately avoids Agnes, refusing to even consider her own feelings toward Agnes. Written by Mattias Thuresson
I was also very impressed by this movie. So I have read all the comments that had been written until now (106). I found it very interesting to read which people from which countries have seen it and what they think about it.
The movie was shown at the Gay-Lesbian-Film-Festival in Stuttgart and was also regularly shown in Stuttgart in December. Unfortunately it's not anymore in the theatres in Stuttgart now (January), so I wasn't able to see it a third time. Also unfortunately it's obviously not possible to get the soundtrack in Germany.
I like how sweet Rebecca Liljeberg (Agnes) is, e.g. when she is asked by Elin to come with her to the party. Do you remember? She didn't answer a word. She is just moving her eyes and looking up, as if she is searching for an answer.
But although I am able to describe this particular situation, I am still not able to explain, what it really was, that impressed and touched me so much. I could mention several aspects, e.g. the acting, the music, the humor, etc. but for me it stays a mystery. It's kind of like the movie's touching something deep inside, waking me up, moving me but I cannot reduce it to one single aspect. Well, it sounds a little complicated, but maybe someone has understood, what I mean.
