Fucking Amal/Show Me Love

Show Me Love revolves around the lives of two high-school aged girls that come from different backgrounds who find themselves attracted to each other. The popular Ellin and the loner Agnes, who attend school in the small town of Åmål in Sweden, deal with different levels of resistance from friends and family to both lesbianism and each other, from Ellin’s friends saying lesbians are disgusting and get AIDS to Agnes’s Mom defining lesbian as “a perfectly normal woman who just happens to fall in love with another woman.”

An interesting bit of trivia about the movie is that when it was released in Sweden in 1998 it beat out Titanic at the box office.

Ok, here’s something for your Halloween movie list.

I first read Whitley Streiber’s The Hunger  in the late ’90s. I didn’t know there was a film version starring Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve until a couple of years ago when I was looking for a new copy of the book to replace my dog-eared copy. 

Now I hear they’re working on a remake of the movie. I don’t know how to feel about this since I think the original movie was a classic.
