It made me cry

Something is so unique with this movie. Maybe it's the excellent portrayal of Sweden in the 70s, maybe it's the acting, the story, or the soundtrack. I don't know, but on a second watching years later this movie affected me deeply. It shows in a stark way how class divides can affect friendships but also how honesty and the somewhat naive goodness of a young man can spread to even a seemingly hardened man and bring forth the goodness in him.
