This film was seen by 400.000 Swedes upon its initial release. Why it has become totally forgotten since, I will never know. Fact remains, this is a masterpiece. Gösta Ekman, in one of his best starring roles, plays somewhat alcoholic sport journalist Tore Andersson who escapes from his ruined relationship to Cypress for a vacation. He drinks to hard, is placed in a small nut-house for a while, returns to civilization dressed in a fur coat, and falls in love with the Norwegian travel guide. But fate wants something else. A movie which moves you like few others do, featuring lush photography, comedy, tragedy and several walks in the sun. Wish this could find its way to DVD someday.

"Fäbodjäntan" is a both funny and erotic movie. This, however, is nothing but a very poorly made dogma-esque porn film. Leena is as cute as ever, but all the other women are ugly, old and very off-turning. The men are all dorks or big moosey guys. The film is poorly lit(if at all), badly dubbed, shot with shaky hand-camera and horribly edited. Only reason to see this trash is the gotlandic "actor" (who is also in "Fäbodjäntan) and here his long wailing as he comes, and some of the love scenes with Leena are really erotic and a huge turn-on. All others, stay away!

(Note the tough prison-tattoos on one of the other male "actors")
