Translation of a blogger's review.

She's Blonde Like Me is one of two documentary films that I saw at the Gothenburg Film Festival.

And how should I describe this movie ...

We cut a bit from the official program description:

"The artist Fia-Stina Sandlund and actress Alexandra Dahlström travel to the Biennial in Venice to present a performance of a director who will make the Strindberg play" Miss Julie "in a feminist reinterpreted movie version. Fia-Stina and Alex met at the airport and prepare appearance in Venice, but something is obviously wrong. Or? "

Less surprisingly, so was She's Blonde Like Me a rather confusing history. But sometimes charming one.

Before serving as Sandlund explained that we would now get a look at Dahlström's face during one and a half hours. What type was not an exaggeration. The camera's introspective focus on Dahlström's face was in itself not entirely unexpected. But in all honesty a bit monotonous.

I do not really know how to describe the movie. On the one hand, you should give Sandlund cred. The split between her narcissism and focus on Dahlström's face is undeniably interesting. But a bit too monotonous after a while. What is the primary reason why the film's first hour was pretty threads but the film's final half hour is pretty brilliant. A final half hour which gives us a pay-of the Sandlund / Dahlströms introspective interactions. A final half hour, which cuts between performance-conduct, a seance with Strindberg's spirit (?!?) and mingle in the Biennial in Venice.

Does this sound confusing? It's that too. But as I said with a brilliant last half hour and some fine creations.


An hour of looking at Alex's face and then the film gets good.
That's all I needed to know. *:)* :)P :lol:

Nothing obvious on their Facebook page http://pt-br.facebook.com/ASTROthemovie
but I have this strange feeling that there'll be subs in Swedish and English.


I'm pretty sure "She's Blonde Like Me" will have English subs too. *:)*



If only I can find some place to buy the DVD's. :roll:

Now that she's given Carolina the flick, Alex and Theodore are having a reconcilliation gig tomorrow night at Strand.

I was going to, but if Theodore's going I'm not. He always monopolises her. Anyone would think he was her boyfriend or something.

I'm reminded of an old edition of "Private Eye" magazine which had an ad on the front page...
Free washing machine given away with every other copy.


See other copy.



Mind you, a regular business appearing in Private Eye was "The Holiday Home For Pets Pie Company Ltd.". :shock: :shock: :r :lol:
