A Very Decent Film
I would recommend Ondskan to anyone who is interested in coming-of-age films. American cinema has always been expert at such portrayals, and it is good to see so accomplished an example out of Sweden. I liked especially the fact that the director never wavers as he unmasks the unwholesome face of an angst-ridden, violence-prone, socially intransigent Swedish society of the not so long ago . Set in the fifties, mostly at a posh boarding school for the upper-class, where the sixth-form boys, led by an effete Swedish aristocrat, go about enforcing their arbitrary and violent rules while the faculty turn a blind eye, this film cleverly avoids the hooks, punches and triumphs of the underdog come to grips with the jack-booted status quo via his fists alone by allowing him to prevail to justice through the implementation of Swedish law. There are enough fisticuffs along the way, however, to satisfy the blood-thirsty among you. Well-acted, good script, beautiful cinematographic moments.
10
Well… I was looking for a horror movie and the title suggested one, but I was wrong and it is a good thing because I doubt I would give a 10 to some horror movies…This is a drama, psychological drama with the great leading role of a young man. It helps I guess that he is also beautiful. Other roles are great too, especially of his opponent and his roommate.
The film is very interesting, not a minute of boredom. The beginning may suggest one way of how the things will going on, but we see pretty soon that the story will have other way – the one of letting go and control of anger.
It may sound silly, but, in a way, I consider this movie a modern sorta fairytale – good does triumphs over evil in the end.
10 from me.
