The trailer emphasizes the sweetness and beauty of young love, and indeed that is the film&#8217;s central theme, but the two adolescent principals are hysterically surrounded by adult dysfunction and what is coming to be known here at MovieNight as Swedish eccentricity. The movie was knee-slappingly funny between moments of tenderness and teen angst&#8230; so much so that I thought of making a new trailer and showing it again the following week&#8230; not making our own trailer in the first place was fuck-up number one. Sorry number one.<\/p>\n<p>Fuck-up number two was just another in our current spate of technical glitches. I guess it was a just bit of schmutz on the disc. Fortunately, I had another copy, and after a comical moment of audience speculation over which chapter to go to (&#8220;Four!&#8221;, &#8220;No, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s five!&#8221;) we were back in business.
