Fucking Åmål (Show me Love)
Where: Cinemateket i Trondheim
Elin has made out with about 70,000 guys and finds everything boring. She longs for something to happen. Jessica is dating Markus, who thinks he’s the toughest guy in Åmål. Johan is Markus’s best friend, and he’s in love with Elin—but she thinks he’s a loser. Agnes is the loneliest person in the world, and she’s so in love with a certain someone that her heart is about to break.
Fucking Åmål hit the Nordic film scene like a bomb when it premiered in 1998–99. It also attracted major international attention under the English title Show Me Love, winning awards at several of Europe’s biggest film festivals, including Berlin and Rotterdam. It also won four Guldbagge Awards—Sweden’s top film prize—as well as the Norwegian Amanda Award for Best Foreign Film. The film has aged remarkably well and still feels deeply personal, intimate, and realistic—one of the finest films of recent decades about being young and in love, regardless of orientation.
