Everlasting Moments (2009)This was the last of our film festival films, and we were sad that it was over. We were still waiting for a dud, but that was only because my friend had not been to see A Christmas Tale .
This was a gentle film, based on the true life of a Swedish family, starting in 1907. Maria Larsson is married to a trouble making, alcoholic womaniser and is left to bring up the children and patch up the pieces. Once she pulls out an old camera, and discovers her talent at taking pictures, her life slowly changes. Friendship with the local photography studio owner allows her to take pictures of her family and neighbours, and her confidence grows.
I enjoyed this film, I loved it's graceful style and beautiful images. 4/5
Pia - have you seen it? What did you think?
So, goodbye film festival. See you next year!!

nope, haven't seen it. yet. but my mum has and she said it was sad and beautiful. i'm so not fond of the actor who plays the husband, i usually shy away from movies with him (imho he is not much of an actor and seen in just about every production here), but maybe he actually does a good job in this film... i think it was nominated for an oscar (best foreign movie).
