Varning!

Lovers of Swedish punk (the ranks of which I count myself among) should note that the new Lukas Moodysson film, We Are the Best! (Vi är bäst!) is playing this year's Philadelphia Film Festival. I've not yet seen it, but I love many of Moodysson's other films, both the dark ones like Fucking Åmål (Show Me Love; 1998), Lilya 4-Ever (2002), and A Hole In My Heart (2004), and his "lighter" Together (2000). This seems like it will be more like Together than the others. A lad is free to dream of the likes of Anti Cimex, Moderat Likvidation, Mob 47, Asta Kask, Avskum, and the like bursting forth through the theatre speakers in 5.1. I don't know who all is on the soundtrack, but I'm still anxious to see the film. It's playing on Saturday, October 19 at 5:15 PM and Sunday, October 27 at 4:50 PM (the day the Exhumed Films 24-hour marathon ends). I'll be at the latter show.
