My Life as a Dog (1985)
(Mit Liv Som Hund)
Country: SV
Technical: col 101m
Director: Lasse Hallström
Cast: Anton Glanzelius, Manfred Serner
Synopsis:
In 1960s Sweden a little bot, incredibly accident-prone but with a poetic philosophy of looking at things in perspective, has a mother dying of consumption and is separated from his beloved dog to go and live with his uncle who works in a glassworks and runs the local football team.
Review:
To give a faithful synopsis would take forever, so varied is this look at early youth. A recuuring motif in the mind of the boy is the Russian dog Laika, launched into space in a sputnik and left to die. The film is full of humour, though, and that frankness so appealing in Scandinavian cinema.
