Ya, das güd movie!

In "House of Angels", a staid, bucolic Swedish village is all abuzz when a lovely and vivacious young woman comes to town to claim the estate of her late grandfather. A charming, warmhearted, and fun little romp which is not so much a story as it is a study of human nature, the film seems to delight in evincing the community's eccentricities as it reverberates like jiggling Jello with the disruptive influence of its latest resident. "House...." should be an enjoyable watch for more mature viewers, especially females, into foreign flicks and people watching. (B-)

a bohemian swedish classic

Aenglagård is me and my wifes all time swedish favourite movie. it tells the story about a woman touring around europe and the u.s. with her boyfriend and their cabaret group, af all kinds and genders. one day she get the message that she has inherited a house far away from the big city in the most rednecked of rednecked sweeds in the most remote southern wilderness of sweden. and here the rumours and gossip starts and develops into the most charming and loveable of loveable dramacomedies.

we've seen this movie and its sequel at least 13 times,always together in the sofa, and everytime the tears flow near the end. its a piece of wizardry thinks the grumpy old man.highly recommended

Angels over Sweden

We watched this Swedish comedy on cable recently, and while it is not exactly a film that breaks new ground, it is enjoyable as it takes the audience into parts of the country where not too many movies are set. The basic premise is prejudice against intruders that dare to come to a small conservative community acting in a manner the locals are not accustomed to see.

The film is directed by an Englishman, Colin Nutley, who also wrote the screenplay in which it is based. Sometimes outsiders can discover things that most citizens of the land, in which the action is set, would never imagine, and therefore, he can be more objective in his approach to tell a story that is fresh and make it fun to watch.

The vivacious Helena Bergstrom is Fanny Zander, the granddaughter of an old man who did not get to know her at all. Having lived in Berlin and toured with her act all over Europe, she represents an intrusion no one likes. To make things worse, she is now a landowner whose land is coveted by the greedy Axel Flogfalt, whose ambition is to exploit it for his benefit. Along the way, Axel discovers a dark secret he was not ready to face.

Colin Nutley's comedy that will get laughs from the viewer; a welcome change of pace from more serious fare from Sweden.
