So following up Fucking Amal in my eyes he matched it with Tillersmann, which is every bit as great as FA and Lilya4ever his best known work. With A hole in my Heart is when his work started to slip really badly as it went more into Avant garde. Tillersmann made more money in Sweden then Fucking Amal too i believe. Sorry I'm a massive Moodysson fan and this is rather a false remark to make.
You misunderstand Cheevers4ever, I'm talking about Moodysson today.
He's not exactly a big name in the movie business in Sweden nowadays.
After FÅ he was of course very much talked about and Tillsammans was indeed even bigger at the box office than FÅ.
Tillersmann btw? Wasn't the film called Together internationally?
Anyway, Lilya 4-Ever was a good film, but wasn't a hit with audiences the same as his two previous films.
Hole in my heart and Container were flops.
Mammut was so-so I think, maybe it was better received internationally?
Lilya 4-Ever was perhaps also better received abroad?
Bottom line is Moodysson didn't have a consistent great career as director after the promising FÅ, either with audiences or the critics in Sweden.
He was a writer also and he does this today as well, maybe he's more succesful as a writer.
