I think it looks nice :mrgreen:

Besides both Bex and Alex have done some nude scenes in other films already :wink:

And wouldn't it be cool to have an extended version of FÅ emerging *:)*

But I'll stop posting sexy posters as you wish *:|*


:lol: I don't want to be the prude moderator, but I just don't like the idea of newcomers thinking we're THAT kind of place. :shock:



Even if we are in our heads. :wink: :P

About the lipstick. I don't think it was one shot, so she might as well have wiped her upper lip inbetween shots. Like she did before mother entered the room.

no but I rather think that the lipstick imprint of the power failed and so avoid having to shoot the kissing scene again, where would it better to impress the lipstick, so they painted round it a bit to her and there would be a greater contrast that has something to mouth, what you should quickly wipe until it sees a mother

Hey, first post here.

Things that made it stand out;

Rebecka Liljeberg's screen presence. Mmm...mesmeric! Reminded me of Lina Leandersson in LTROI, in its effortless power to hold your attention and belief. She's very beautiful, too, which doesn't hurt a bit.

The realism and accuracy of the whole thing, as already noted in this thread. I'm sure alienated, bored teenagers all over the world must still be going YESSS!! when they come across it. Good, tight script.

The complete absence of prurience and Hollywoodenness. It's about love; OK it's gay love, but so what? Love is love. It's not a porn movie, they didn't go for any cheap shot. I really respect that.

I have to get an avi or DVD though, watching it on lo-res YouTube is a bit of a travesty. I must have missed about 60% of the non-verbal performances.

Absolutely beautiful film. *:)* *:)*

I’ll park it here. Why not? Been researching yoof culture in Sweden and came across this interesting blog. Interesting discussion from a year ago.

http://www.transparent.com/swedish/fjortisar-and-emos-in-school

I think FA was actually way ahead of it’s time. Does this description remind you of anyone?

“Fjortis” originally comes from the Swedish word “fjortonåring” which means ‘fourteen year old’. It was used to describe the adolescent behavior of teenagers (tonåringar) a couple of decades ago and the term then progressed to a word which you would tease somebody with. Nowadays it has become something different; the English equivalent of the word would be an air head. A “Fjortis” is an airhead who has blonde hair, big breasts and is always thinking about being really thin. They are also stupid and have a shallow personality.

Image

Or this?

The term “Emo” comes from the English word emotional; an“Emo” is typically somebody who cuts themselves, wears goth-like clothing, lots of black make-up and is depressed, usually wanting to commit suicide. A common phrase heard in every junior high school is “Han/hon är Emo, kolla han/hon har kuttat sig själv!” This means “He/she is an Emo, look he/she has cut himself/herself!” (NOTE: Kuttat comes from the English verb to cut, after adding an a it becomes a commonly used verb. Sig själv literally means oneself, herself, himself or itself, but translated back and forth the best English word would be him-or-herself in this case.) By wearing certain clothes or make-up (smink) teenagers in high schools can be shouted after in corridors, and in some worst cases picked on or bullied etc.

Image

Awful, to think, stereotyping and bullying are still omniprescent in Swedish schools. All Swedish young people should be made to watch FA on a continual loop until they cry. If they blink, then they should be placed in isolation and made to read my poetry until their eyes bleed.
