Gossip (II) (2000)

Actresses

[7/10 · 26 December 2000]

The plot itself isn't really worth the trouble queueing for tickets, but la crème de la crème of Swedish actresses in one film are.

Margaretha Krook is, as always, doing a splendid performance. Her outstanding skill to act with dignity will never be beaten by anyone.

Miss April (1958)

A concentrate of spring feelings

[9/10 · 18 March 2000]

This film contains the essence of spring feelings: love, humour, nice weather and all that stuff. Lena Söderblom is at her best, and so is Gunnar Björnstrand, who does his romantic character quite well. Jarl Kulle is outstanding as the neurotic opera singer, as is Hjördis Petterson as his mother. Well worth seeing.
