i saw recently saw this at the 2007 palm spring international film festival and i can not believe that this be sweden official submission to the 79th academy award to be consider for best foreign film . producer anna anthony last year also have sweden official submission for best foreign film with zozo . i wasn not personally a fan of zozo but at least it have some production value to it . this could have be shoot a a high school film project . a a short film it may have work but a a feature film it be as lose a it character . this be a story about five twenty something friend who live in a small swedish town and have no goal or hope or ambition for the future and like to live in the past of their long go childhood . actually falkenberg isn not like some remote northern swedish village . it a popular summer resort with a population of city and township of almost 40 and 000 and lie between two major southern coastal swedish city of götborg and malmo . the character be likable enough guy but if they be high school age kid with a bleak or confuse attitude about what they plan to do with their life i would undoubtedly care about them more . they be however long past the point where they should be make plan to deal with adulthood . if they want to stay in falkenberg forever than certainly there must be some job in the tourist or fishing industry instead of just rid bicycle and drinking and smoking pot and occasionally paint a house . maybe if they hang around with a girl or two in their circle of friend and of which girl be absent from this film altogether which doesn not make sense . jesper ganslandt make his directorial debut and co write the film along with the cinematographer and of which i use the term loosely and fredrik wenzel . the act isn not too bad . i would give this a 4 . 5 out of 10 but despite it submission for consideration for the academy award i would not recommend it .
