TJENARE KUNGEN AKA GOD SAVE THE KING

If you only watch one movie this year, make sure it's this one! Tjenare Kungen, or God Save the King as the English title is, is a feelgood movie about punk music and the "Happy 80s". The movie is about a girl named Abra who lives on the countryside. Everyone in her village enjoys synth music but Abra loves punk ( Read more... )

You have!? What did you think of it?

Yeah. It's been awhile since I saw it though. But I really liked it.

I rarely watch Swedish movies but you just made me want to watch this.

Sounds like a nice movie, I'll have to check it out! :D

You gotta! It's really great. And the end scene with the music Forever Young by Alphaville always gets me crying even if it isn't a very sad scene at all. But anyway, you should check it out and since it's easy for you to understand Swedish you also have the simple alternative of downloading the movie instead of having to buy it.

By the way, I'm going to a theater show this fall and I just found out that one of the lead roles is played by the girl who has the lead in "Tjenare Kungen" - it's Josefin Neldén who plays Abra. I just have to talk to her after the show and ask for a photo with her. She was by far the best actor in the entire movie, with Joel Kinnaman and Cecilia Wallin as close seconds.

As you said, you should check it out!
