Lilya 4-ever (2002)
(Lilja 4-ever)
Country: SV/DK
Technical: col 109m
Director: Lukas Moodysson
Cast: Oksana Akinshina, Artiom Bogucharskij
Synopsis:
Somewhere in the former Soviet Union a teenage girl is abandoned by her mother and sustained spiritually by her friendship with a much younger boy, physically by turning prostitute at a nearby disco. When she meets a young man with apparently honorable intentions who claims to find her work in Sweden, the turn of fate seems too good to be true.
Review:
A harrowingly drab and awful story and setting positively bristles with energy and faith in life in spite of everything. The central performance is spellbinding.
