Rogue Pictures Presents THE UNBORN Now Playing
Coming Of Age In Sweden Seems Far More Entertaining Than Here In Canada ...

Film institute websites can be your best friend when running a site like this but they can also be your worst enemy. They’re an invaluable source of English language info on regional films but sometimes they do a less than stellar job of representing what it is they’ve actually got. Case in point: Hella Joof’s Linas Kvällsbok (Bitter Sweetheart), a title I’ve spotted on the SFI website many times before now but passed over thanks to a very uninspired choice of still shot and a extremely cursory synopsis. Here’s what we’ve got:
Based on a popular novel Joof’s film is a dark coming of age comedy following a fifteen year old girl. Which is standard enough stuff and has been done stacks of times and spun in countless directions but done well it’s still a potent formula and the trailer for this is just stellar. Camera work is great, the young cast likable, and Joof clearly remembers just how absurd and confusing being a teenager can be. Put it this way: you’ll come for the naked skating but you’ll stay for the glass table vomit.

Looks funny, and of course Swedish girls are cute. Is this playing anywhere or is there a subtitled DVD available?
