I saw the remake of this utter masterpiece and decided to take a look at this, I searched and searched, over and over. Never really getting anywhere because the closest I could get to watching it was a YouTube video without subtitles (FYI I don't speak Swedish, which is why a review of this hasn't been submitted earlier), I then was at the end of my rope (tried everything), finally I saw it (not a day went by without me thinking about seeing this).Gustaf Skarsgård's acting is one to be admired. My reasoning is that I saw him in Evil and this (2 completely different roles) and both of them very convincingly. But it's not like he was the only person that was convincing, Tuva Novotny was also very good as well... for a fact I haven't seen a cast this good since Harjunpää ja pahan pappi, that is saying a lot.The movie is actually one of the best foreign films that I have seen (Yes this includes the Bergman movies), it was a very entertaining and moving film from beginning to end (especially "end"). The characters are human in such a way that one minute you hate a character, then the next minute they're liked by the viewer... this also happens vise versa. The way they do it is incredible.For those whom have seen this and refuse to see the remake I will say something that will shock you with my ratings: Original: 10/10 Remake: 9/10 Yes guys - I think this is a superior movie - but I think the remake is also very good.

I absolutely adored this movie as well. I was fortunate to see it when it premiered in Chicago at the Siskel Film Centre. I had a chance to see it with subtitles since I am still learning Swedish.The imagery that this film gives you will leave a lasting impression. It is very graphic but that is the pain, the tears, and anger in the film that gives off the imagery.The main actors did such a splendid job that I felt that with such a tough storyline that they wouldn't be able to do it but they performed flawlessly. This film is a definitely must see! I managed to get a copy of the DVD but it didn't have English subtitles but actions speak louder than words in this movie. Thus it is a favourite.

Without revealing too much or nothing at all, let's just say that the theme is a big classic of the fantasy cinema but we are presented here with a completely new twist and it works so wonderfully; with no money the director chose another road and it's amazing; I saw it at the Brussels fantasy film festival and I should have congratulate the director; and to add even more pleasure to the vision of this movie , we don't have a Hollywood-feel-good-everybody is happy ending, thats so good and different!

I got to see this film at a the absolute premier..so the directors where there too. They were nominated for an oscar for best short picture in 2001. Now they have made there first long film.The movie is mostly about a boy named Nicklas. He is a smart man who is just about to go out school. He is being held down by his mother who has her way of his future don. But nicklas wants to go his way..but it's like he's invesable(the name of the film is "the inveceble") but he's about to be totaly invecible. When he gets beat up by the school gangster, a girl, he becomes inviceble. He's stuck in a state between life and death. and he tries to find his body.This is a VERY good movie..I think it will be oscar nominated next year. The acting is exeptional. The way it's been built, the easy way of showing that he can't affect the world around him is great. If you are not swedish speaking and want to see a very goodmovie(that your friends probably never will see) down load or in some way see it. It's a great movie from start to finish.(if you've managed all my spelling so far, then you can take the time to see the film)
