Pictures of Alexandra [Topic 4]

[fish]

She prob'ly thinks this song is about her.
Oh, sorry.


Alex: "Hmmmmm. What can I do next to upset Ian?"

[Ian]

She never calls, she never writes... It's almost like we've never met.

[fish]

Yeah.
She's like that isn't she.

The tease.

[Ian]

It's all just a bit of fun for her.

[Dahls]

Did I forget to forward all of her messages to you?
Oh, I'm so sorry.

Probably not anything important.

[fish]

I hate it when that happens.


At the premier of the film "Tommy" a couple of days ago.
No idea who the guy is. (But it might be useful to find out.)



Ian, better check your messages in case Alex let you know.

[Ian]

I'm sure they'll be here any day now.

I have a sneaky feeling that guy's name might be Tommy.

[fish]

...I have a sneaky feeling...

Oh I don't know.
Looks more like a Richard to me.


Ashley found this one. She's brilliant at finding stuff.

[Ian]

I'm presuming this is from the premiere of a film called... Tommy, perhaps?

[fish]

Correct presumption.
A thriller starring Moa Gammel and Ola Rapace.

From IMDB..... "A week before Christmas, Estelle lands at Arlanda Airport. A year earlier, she had left Stockholm on the run with her husband Tommy and their daughter, after Tommy had taken part in one of the biggest robberies ever in the history of Swedish crime. Estelle seeks out Tommy's former cronies and claims that Tommy is on his way home. And he wants his share of the take. Word spreads like wildfire through Stockholm's underworld. If Tommy returns, the city will explode. And if he doesn't ... something even worse might happen. TOMMY is the story of the woman behind the man behind the headlines. A modern myth about when the Queen returned and the city burned."



Sounds like a film to see.

Alex at the premier last week.

[Ian]

Nice.

[Dahls]

Nice indeed.



I agree, Tommy looks very interesting.

Starring Lykke Li as well I see.

I didn't know she acted, she's a famous swedish singer.
A great one too, you should check her out (if you haven't).
Sadness Is a Blessing is a particularly good song, with a wonderful and strange musicvid.

The almost 2 minut silent intro is as tense as they come.

Just wanted to know guys has Alexandra done any films that are worth checking? Haven't looked to deep into Alexandra's career past Fucking Amal although she did a bit of work for the band Vulkano who I love .

[fish]

...you should check her out...

Just did. Excellent clip.
That "silence" was very tense, I half expected her to start throwing things at everyone.



Alex has been in a number of films, none anywhere near as good as Fucking Åmål of course.
I enjoyed what we've seen of the "Strindberg trilogy", "Fröken Sverige" and "Blondie" in particular because I think they allowed her to show her acting talent more.
She's been in many short films and music vids too, and is also writer/director of lots of them
Currently she's making a full length documentary about the band Vulkano which was shown at a festival last week as a "w*rk in progress".
If you want to find out more, try this site. http://alexandra-dahlstrom.net/
It's probably the best AD site in the world and is run by one of our members, Ashley.

(Just in case you're wondering why I used "w*rk" earlier, it's because I don't like using bad language.)

Astro is also very good and can be downloaded.
