Skanör-Falsterbo

Who knew that before Bergman's usually tormented films the Swedes enjoyed such engaging drollery? Here is a carefree world of gentle humour and simple wisdom that is entirely lost to us today - and this reminder of happier times long ago and far away puts a smile on one's face that makes departing the warm and cheerful life of these good people very hard. How sad that the company of such ghosts is so much more agreeable than the present we must exist in. And there's your angst, courtesy of modern life. But thank-you Netflix for providing this brief but welcome escape from our unending troubles. This is yet another gem from your marvellous Scandinavian selection now showing in the UK.
