Review of Suddenly

Suddenly (2006)
Swedish melodrama
29 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is a film about guilt and catharsis.

Jonas and his father survive a car accident that kills both the mother and brother of Jonas. He and his father, who was behind the wheel, must find a way to move on. The father decides to move to a natural surrounding in the archipelago to find healing in the midnight sun. Both he and Jonas meet the angel who can redeem them.

The father is memorable in his guilt-ridden grief, but most memorable is Moa Gammel who, in her role as Helena, portrays perhaps by far the most desirable Swedish blonde since Bibi Andersson. It is unreal that it takes Jonas most of the film to succumb.

Worth seeing!
