Director - Lasse Hallström
Wonderful Swedish film about a boy who goes to live with his weird uncle in rural Sweden once his mother becomes ill. Odd, dark, very dramatic and best of all surprisingly funny. Sadly Hallström wouldn’t make many more films as well balanced as this once he crossed the pond. Perfect rainy Sunday afternoon viewing.
Director - Torbjörn Axelman
Made for Swedish TV Lee Hazlewood promo. Less a film/documentary than a series of shots of Hazlewood (in double denim and black cowboy hat) trotting around Sweden's Gotland on a black horse while tunes from his album of the same name play out. If you love the man then this is manna from Hazlewood heaven, if not then you’ll probably never make the effort required to see this anyway.
