Lukas Moodysson

otm. Their rebellion is small but it's huge and vital to them and that's where a lot of the comedy comes in as well - that adolescent problem of perspective. And of course the fact that they're born too late for punk's insurrectionary years.

I love this film. One of the best films I saw all year.
What I love best is how much of it is about the process of actually forming a band and finding ways to overcome the things that stop you achieving your vision
it really benefited, imo from being a 'nice' film with little real peril or conflict.

Brody in a nutshell: passionate, unpredictable celebration of films he loved last year let down by boring, posturing dismissal of 10 critics' favourites just to show how different he is. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/best-movies-2014

the film seemed to end at what would be the mid-point of where other films on a similar subject. that is, it ended on a note of what might seem like a mixed success at best--a kind of anti-triumph rather than a real "success." but i think that was in keeping with the themes of the film. even if i wanted it to go on another 30 minutes!

sorry for bad typos.

i won't read that; reading brody seems about as useful (and good for my blood pressure) as reading armond white at this point.

i keep thinking that if i ever met brody i'd have to fight the urge to pull on his beard. i wonder if after he sees a movie it's filled with popcorn and spittle.

Woah..

I haven't kept up with Moodysson, but I loved the original Together

Yeah it was good
