Lasse Hallstrom directs this outstanding film about the confusion of growing up in the bewildering world of adults. She coaxes some amazing performances from the child actors as well as the adults. Don't let anyone tell you anything else about this movie. Just make sure to watch it. And watch it twice. The beauty of the Swedish language is one of the many amazing surprises in this masterpiece. I haven't watched the other film included on this disk but I'm looking forward to it. Anton Glanzelius will break your heart with nothing more complex than the way he eats a hot dog.You will feel sorry for anyone who is unfamiliar with this film.
