Synopsis
First love has never been sweeter than a kiss punctuated by the taste of bubblegum as in Roy Andersson’s aptly-titled A SWEDISH LOVE STORY. A classic in its native Sweden, this stylish look at teen romance — complete with awkward fumblings, silent staredowns, and moped gangs — made a star of its director who (much like the ending of many a great romance) promptly fell into a deep depression after its success, never again to make another film as wonderfully exuberant. Despair not, he went on to direct SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR and A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH REFLECTING ON EXISTENCE. Keep your eyes peeled for the acting debut of Björn Andrésen, the “most beautiful boy in the world.”
