Just wondering if anyone else has seen this movie. It was shown in a film studies class I had last year and I just loved it. Went out and bought the DVD today and watched it, such an awesome movie. It's a foreign film, but, there's not that much dialogue, thought I'd mention that because I know a lot of people have issues with subtitles, doesn't really bother me, but that's me.

Anyway it's very fast past and has a great setup and emphasis on tiny decisions from second to second can change a huge course of events, I thoroughly enjoyed this flick and suggest you check it out, got pretty good reviews as well, heres some more info on it.

I particularly liked this little description of the amazing and fast paced cinematography in the film;


"We get fast and slow motion, crane shots, split screens, handheld cinematography, tracking shots, lateral wipes, jump cuts, candy coloring, MTV-style editing, whip pans, still photographs and rapid-fire montages. You name it."

Yea i saw it a couple of days ago and all i can say is wow. It sure is fast past. I'm a little reluctant too of watching movies that doesn't have swedish or english speech but with this movie i was so cought up in the story so it never bordered me.

Great movie, I saw it myself about a month ago for the first time and I think I'll go buy the DVD soon.
