Swedish film "Everlasting Moments" (Eviga ögonblick)

We went to a movie in Edina yesterday - the little theater there at 50th and France sometimes has foreign films with English subtitles. We've gone to a couple of them there. Almost all worth it. We saw Maria Larssons Eviga ögonblick - Everlasting Moments in English. There was some gazing out of rainy windows, like Ingmar Bergman's films. You'll have to google it if you want a review. I liked it. It was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars. Sweden early 1900's is the setting. The Everlasting Moments refers to images captured on film. There is so much in the movie to compare and contrast to how things are today, it will keep you thinking about it. Even the value of photographs, images of people you love, then compared to now. One precious photo, compared to today. Kids have hundreds and hundreds of photos taken of them today even before they reach 1 year old. Plus hours of video.

Here is the first photo Maria took of her children (in the movie):
