heys a52-ians:)
i watched the movie as it is in heaven yesterday and thought it was great tried to find a movie review about it online but cant find any! it’s Swedish btw..so maybe that’s why it’s hard to find anything abt it (not even any pictures!)
it’s the biggest Swedish box office hit of 2004 and e poster says “Music at it’s most magical since The Choir Boys” ))
and since i love it so much i shall painstakingly type the synopsis manually!
here goes:

Daniel Dareus is a famous symphony conductor, but he is exhausted by the demands of his high profile lifestyle. Having sufferred a physical and emotional breakdown, Daniel abruptly interrupts his career and returns, alone, tho Norrland, the village of his childhood in remote northern Sweden. Soon he is asked to come and “offer a bit of good advice” to the small church choir, which practises every Thursday in the parish hall.

Daniel resists being dragged back into the spotlight, yet he finds no way to gracefully refuse the choir’s request. As he reluctantly begins to work with the choir, Daniel, quite to his own surprise, begins to rediscover his long-lost joy for music. But his work with the choir becomes a serious threat to the town’s status quo, and Daniel finds himself surrounded by enemies. Meanwhile, he makes new friends, among them the lovely and sensitive Lena. Daniel’s life and the lives of the Norrland folks, will never be the same again.

warning: it may be too draggy for some! and a lil bit cliche too actually

and if any of you see the soundtrack pls tell me! i’d love to buy it!

disclaimer: this is entirely my own opinion..dont scold me if you watch it later and think it’s crappy!
