Swedish Movies, part 2

January 12'th, I posted a list of four Swedish movies we'd seen. Since then, we've seen three more. The first, Ett Öga Rött which means "One Eye Red," was simply excellent, especially in these days where immigration issues are in the headlines. It's about a Moroccan family that immigrants to Sweden and encounters some "issues." It's also about reconciling your past with your future.

The second is called Blåbärskriget which means "The Blueberry Wars." This may be even better than Ett Öga Rött! It's a tale of multi-cultural scamming in a Swedish wilderness town and it all started (and ended) over blueberries.

We also saw Nina Frisk, the story of a beautiful airline assistant and dysfunctional her family. It's a worthy movie but the previous two are my picks as "best."

Note, however, that these movies only got around 5 stars out of 10 on www.imdb.com. Maybe I'm too excited by the Swedish style of movie which is new to me?
