Kontorstid (2003)

Finally a Swedish film that says something interesting.

[7/10 · 27 November 2003]

Many people dislike this film. It's weird. Strange acting, surrealistic surroundings and a story that really doesn't seem to matter that much to anybody. This film tries to say something about how people feel today, about themselves. And the result is a striking lack essence. It's difficult to make a movie about genuine emptiness, it just isn't that visual. But this is a daring attempt to comment about something that so difficult to grasp and describe, but yet the mentality of a generation.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

What is good with this movie?

[29 September 2003]

Please explain to me what is so good with this movie? The story is trivial, if existing, the jokes consist of clichés on top of another, and there is no climax whatsoever. Was it intended that this movie should just go on and on without anything unexpected or even bad happening at any time? Normally movies tend to have some climax of suspense close to the end, and I beleive that is for a reason...
