Fucking Åmål - English subtitled
Humorous portrait of the awakening love between two teenage girls in the dull Swedish provincial town of Åmål. Lukas Moodysson’s feature debut was a big hit in Dutch cinemas in 2000.
There is not much to do in the dull Swedish provincial town of Åmål. Gloomy teenager Agnes has only lived there for a short time and does not belong. She is secretly in love with Elin, the most popular girl at school, but has nowhere to turn with her feelings. Agnes’ world collapses when Elin humiliates her at her sixteenth birthday party. But Elin, who becomes fascinated by Agnes’ courage, regrets this afterwards. Slowly, the two grow closer and closer.
Likas Moodysson, Sweden, Denemark, 1998, 89 min. Swedish spoken, English subtitles.
With Alexandra Dahlström, Rebecka Liljeberg, Erica Carlson, Mathias Rust, Stefan Hörberg.
