FA on Foreignfilms.com - UK release of the DVD

[sydney]

In a perfect world......

a perfect world is a world where everyone is really free to do what they want to do and where people don't interfere with other peoples life. We have got a long way to go!

It has made me look at myself and my life - what has gone before and where it is heading. So, quite an introspective week for me........!

Wow! this really reminds me of my first week when I saw FA (Sorry, no corona this time, I cannot find it on the keyboard at my work ). The second week was a week of decisions.

I haven't seen this film, but I hear that it is set in Glasgow, Scotland, so well done if you could understand the accents! My neighbour is from Glasgow and I still don't understand a word she says!

hehe, well I could understand it very well, considering the movie had dutch subtitles. <_< Maybe you should switch to Ceefax (888) when you are speaking with your neighbour.

For all Scottish visitors: My last remark was meant to be pure ironic.

Ha, exactly the same thoughts I had after watching the film for the first time. Can anybody remember if they had butterflies in their stomachs for days after watching FA? I know I did

Just a side thought here; There was a British film which was made in and around the north of England (can't remember what it's called) from a few years back that was released in America, and because they all had really strong accents, they had to relase it with subtitles <_< All I know is it starred Ricky Tomlinson.....

Well, I received the video of FA/Show Me Love through the post and have just watched it. From now on, I shall worship at the feet of Lukas Moodysson And hey, I really noticed Alexandra Dahlstrom this time When I had seen it on BBC4, I had missed the first ten minutes of the film so I was pleased to be able to see all of it this time. But actually, I was struck this time at how good Erica Carlsson (Jessica) is - I love how she speaks about Markus and I do recall reading that Alexandra herself thought that Erica was really good in the film.........am I right?

I haven't yet heard anything further from Momentum Pictures about the British DVD release........

It was a strange feeling idd. In any case the movie was on my mind almost constantly. This had never happened to me before.

Hehe! That's great Clara.

Imho Lukas Moodysson is the best director around and still young. the 25th of August is the DVD release of his third movie Lilja 4-ever (UK title: Lilya 4-ever) in the UK. Very different then FÅ, but also a masterpiece. And then there is his second movie (feel good movie) Tillsammans (UK title: Together). Maybe the rentals are still open.

I do recall reading that Alexandra herself thought that Erica was really good in the film.........am I right?

I remember Lukas Moodysson saying this also. She did not need much of assistance. You can call it natural talent.

No, me neither. But I guess this is good news. If we had a reaction already then I think it must be a rejection. Now it could mean that they are discussing this internally.
