VHS Movie Reviews of House of Angels
Movie Review: Capturing some of the essence of Sweden
Summary: 5 Stars
The characters in ?nglag?rd are the kind of people one might meet in rural Sweden. Their values, their lifestyle, their town secrets, everything is a good reflection of the kind of hegemony one finds in Sweden in general, only condensed and distilled due to the rural setting. The arrival of the outsiders with the crazy ways and the subsequent response of the locals is something I think many expatriates in Sweden can identify with, and it's probably not a coincidence that the director of the movie is an expatriate. This is a fantastic movie if you have experienced the sharp slap of social hegemony.Movie Review: Gesellschaft and Gemeinschaft collide!
Summary: 4 Stars
While watching this film, the viewer cannot escape the feeling that he is witnessing a collision between what the Sociologist Ferdinand Toennies called "Gemeinschaft" (the rural village) and "Gesellschaft" (the modern city), or what Emile Durkheim called "mechanical solidarity" and "organic solidarity." But Colin Nutley's unfortunate sociological propaganda aside (the film is hamhandedly pro-Gesellschaft/organic solidarity), this film is a highly entertaining, and ultimately touching film about a young woman's return to her roots, the resulting conflict with the locals, and, finally, a heart warming peace.Movie Review: very entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed watching this movie because it is humorous and engaging. The protagonist, Fanny Zander, comes to a Swedish village to see the house which her grandfather left her in his will. All the women in the village start disliking her immediately because of the way she dresses and her profession. (She is a night club performer.)Some of the women become jealous of her because she attracts male attention. They also dislike her companion because he is dark. Axel Flogf?lt dislikes her because she refuses to sell the house to him.
The movie is thoroughly enjoyable and a little unpredictable.
Movie Review: Delightful Screen Presence
Summary: 4 Stars
A story composed of small things made delightful by the beautiful female lead, Helena Bergstrom.Movie Review: My favorite Swedish Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so fabulous, and so very Swedish! The people, the town, the way they react to this girl who is thrown in amongst them... This movie is a masterpiece. It is clever and witty, and yet charming and touching. Absolutely recommended!
