I want to give you a heads up in case you haven't seen this! The British label of Arrow (Films/Video etc.) have recently released a limited edition Blu-ray box in the USA/UK containing Lukas’ feature films. Contrary to that previus Blu-ray released by Svensk filmindustri two years ago, this one features loads of extra content! Together with the discs you get two books, one containing varius texts about the different films and another features some poetry by Moodysson. Not to mention that you get English subtitles on either region A or B.
I saw Anna Westerståhl Stenport being mentioned in the texts by the way! The same person who wrote that book back in 2012.

Most importantly (to me at least) this package includes brand new video interviews with Lukas, Alexandra, Ulf Brantås, Malte Forsell, Michał Leszczyłowski and Malin Fornander all of which have worked on FÅ! The interviews are scattered out on the various discs but they still talk a lot about working with FÅ specifically.
As I mentioned in another thread, the digital restoration of FÅ were made in two versions, one with the grain artificially reduced and another with the grainy effect intact. I was actually a bit unsure of which version was featured on the Swedish Blu-ray but after seeing this It’s pretty obvious I think.
It should be noted that this release by Arrow only has the grainy version. Ideally it would be nice to have both as an option but still, as a whole this is miles better than the previous Blu-ray.
