Dragonflies (2001)
I went in, having come over a cheap DVD copy full of praise and raving reviews on the front cover, plus two of my favorite scandiavian actors in Kim Bodia and Mikael Persbrandt, and on top of that the lovely Maria Bonnevie. Sadly, what started out as an interesting movie became another boring and overlong scandinavian artsy/fartsy movie for specially interested.
The only good thing about it was that we got to see very much of the lovely Bonnevie and her two "talents" several times.
Zingo (1998)
Swedish "comedy" where a bunch of losers is about to make a porn movie in the wild, because their junkie leader has gotten himself invovled with a psychotic biker leader, and to gather in some easy money, they fool some german moneymen into thinking they are about to get the very first taste of a porn film starring an old and forgotten swedish movie star and a horny moose.
The film tries to hard to be funny and quirky, and it is very clear they have seen Trainspotting several times before, as they even end up "borrowing" the famous "I want to become just like you" line that Mark Renton says at the end of the film.
The beautiful Helena Af Sanderberg shows up and makes the film a bit more interesting, and Per Moberg (probably most famous for being the angry boss of Martin Beck in the swedish crime films Beck or at least in the first seasons from 1997-98) and he is the wannabe movie director that is gonna make them a lot of money.
