We Are the Best!

There is a film workshop with film director and curator Kathryn Ferguson following the screening.

Three apple-cheeked 12 year-olds in the early 1980s concoct a plan to take over Stockholm with their newly formed punk band. Lukas Moodysson’s film speaks the passionate language of young blood with immersive dexterity and lets every scene unfold with tender appreciation for his young protagonists. A comedy drama based on his wife’s comic book, Never Goodnight, Moodysson gives equal weight to food fights, fist crushes and knee-high views on adult problems.

We Are the Best!, dir. Lukas Moodysson, Sweden 2014, 102 mins., Swedish with English subtitles.
