Hi everyone, long time no see again. Sorry for not reaching out in such a while. Hope you are well and safe.

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.

I prefer the un-grainy

It is a very interesting package from what you tell us.

Yes this baffles me as it would have been a smaller effort for a Swedish company to shoot some interviews with the people behind the scenes, but SF didn’t do it. Before I was kind of suspecting that Lukas and the gang weren’t very interested in doing interviews about FÅ nowadays. This goes to show that “where there’s a will there’s a way” I guess. :-) FÅ should get the treatment that it deserves.

My copy arrived on Friday.
It's a massive step up from the DVD, though the grain does look a bit much in some of the location scenes.

I'm left alone...

I'll have to buy it myself.

I hope they see it because if they don't see it and rectify we have a problem.

Maybe now that they're so embarrassed we could "blackmail"
them into showing us all the videos footage that wasn't used in the movie.

“The Brits managed to produce their own extra content from abroad, what is your excuse?” :-P

I´m little bit curious. Are the english subtitles good? I´ve seen some terrible english subtitles

From what I saw checking the disc they look the same as the DVD ones.

OK, I´m a little bit curious (as usuall) The interview with Alex? Is it a long one? Any "new information"? etc etc.....
