A new ArrowFilmsVideo box set collects the films of Lukas Moodysson, so agracru takes a big look at his filmography so far, and how the filmmaker loves to see his characters almost win:
The key to the protean Swedish filmmaker Lukas Moodysson’s career is wrapped up in his feature debut, 1998’s. For clarity, “Åmål” isn’t a person; it’s a town. And “Fucking” isn’t sexual; it’s condemnatory, like “all the damn vampires,” or “shut the fuck up, Donny.” Viewers who suffered through teenhood in podunk burgs, know how Elin feels when she barks the film’s name.
Mom rummages around for words to make her answer, which is halting, but profound. “It’s fun to watch when someone wins,” she replies. “See how much they win.” Elin shows unsurprisingly little patience for her mom’s wisdom. “Totally meaningless,” she huffs. But she’s wrong, or at least she’s in conflict with Moodysson, who according to his own filmography shares mom’s sentiment. ItCategorizing Moodysson’s characters by varied degrees of winning is admittedly somewhat coarse.
