FUCKING ÅMÅL (1998) is Lukas Moodysson’s first commercial film. The film was extremely popular both with the audience and the critics, and it has been distributed in over 30 countries. The film won four Guldbaggars and was nominated for an Oscar as well as the award for best European film by the European Film Academy. Åmål is the name of a Swedish suburban town where nothing happens. How incredibly insufferable it is to be a teenager where everything is “out” by the time it gets there, where the selection is way to small and too exhausted, where the gang means everything and all kissing is pastime, where the drinking in the weekends is intense, and the rest of the week is spent day-dreaming..
“Fucking amazing!” – Ekstrabladet / “Incredibly well-made” – Jyllands-Posten / “Fun and very riveting” – Vi Unge / “Exellent film.” – Mix.
