Let the Right One In / Låt den rätte komma in

 

Låt den rätta komma in 2008

  • Director: Tomas Alfredson
  • Seen by this director: Snömannen, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Ika i rutan
  • Based on a book by John Ajvide Lindqvist
  • Cast: Kåre Hedebrandt, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Ika Nord 
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
  • Why?  I liked it the first time and I like the book
  • Seen:  Once before. Now 3 November 2024 

Young Oskar (Hedebrandt) is bullied at school and spends a lot of his time in the courtyard outside his block of flats in a wintery suburb of Stockholm. Eli (Leandersson) is often there and they become friends.

Only she’s a vampire.

A sweet, sad film about friendship, cruelty, fear, courage. It’s poetic and disturbing and realistic.

Beautiful winter landscapes and good acting are a bonus.
