Tillsammans

I just saw this at the Minneapolis International Film Festival, and it was quite a gem. Unfortunately, that's all I'll ever be able to refer to it as in the United States. While it is surely an enormous hit everywhere else in the world, or at least in Europe, it will probably never actually be released here because of the silliest thing: nudity. Fucking Amal wasn't opened in more than a couple of theaters, mainly because of the title (couldn't they just translate it "screwing Amal"?). We all missed it over here. I should just buy the DVD, considering how good Together is. Together does owe more than a little credit to Dogma '95 and especially Idioterne, to which it is very similar. Still, it is very creative, well written, and enormously well acted. 9/10
