A wonderful film, truly special!
The year 2001 was pretty much a vast and empty one for film. "Together" was one of the few bright spots of the year. This truly wonderful film is set in Stockholm, Sweeden circa 1975 at a commune known as Together. The people who live at the commune are pretty much your "typical" hippies and socialists who believe they are living in a "utopia". Unfortunately, egos and a middle class lifestyle that they never really abandoned quietly sneak into the picture. Also coming into this mix is one of the member's sister fleeing her abusive husband. She brings along her two children who are not in the least too enthused about being here. Oh, but why reveal anymore. See this great film for yourself.Lukas Moodysson wrote and directed this film and he captures this period better than I've ever seen it caught on film before. He even captures the look and feel of a 70's picture with his filmmaking style. I cant recommend this film enough.One of 2001's very best.
