Just in case if somenody needs Swedish Vobsubs (don't know if it is in sync with your release)
[Code] By the way... if no secret where did 1080p came from?

Update: I wonder if releases are a little bit different - I mean second or half from here and there

Thanks for the upgrade ghost, and thanks to those who originally shared this movie! This looks like an adorable little movie! I first discovered it following a trail of movies on imdb's "more films like this" section.

It's been years since I've even thought about this film, but it's always held a soft spot in my heart due to it's beauty and simplicity. I found it online [I've got the DVD and a couple files somewhere around the house; but it's easier to just d/l it than look for it :P ] and d/loaded yet another file of this beautiful movie. (Watching it today...) :heart :heart :heart

I could have sworn that pillowbaker posted this quote of a film critic's review as I just saw it the other day and was brought to tears by the last line. It reminded me of of the power cinema can have to touch our hearts when done right. This movie truly was. :heart (I 'Spoilered' it as it describes a specific scene.. ;) )
Spoiler:

Roger Ebert wrote:...then there's the film's beautiful final scene. The gardener packs his belongings and leaves in a pickup truck. The two children race after him. He stops, unloads a table, chairs, a couch and a grandfather clock from the truck and sets up housekeeping in the middle of the road.
Dinner is served: hard-boiled eggs. He puts a whole one in his mouth. So does Hugo. Then Josefin does, and the way she breaks into giggles with a whole hard-boiled egg in her mouth is worth perhaps six dozen hours of the summer's Hollywood releases. Then dusk falls, and the gardener lights an oil lamp. There they all are in the middle of the empty country road, and there we are, confronted with the way a movie can win our hearts.
I also found this description to be true:
Howard Thompson from The NY Times wrote:The movie closes with the roadside parting of the children and their adult friend, a strange and original vignette that is one of the loveliest and most poignant microcosms ever put on film.
(If it was edited out because of copy-write infringement, I'll get rid of my quote too. ) :roll:

I don't recall posting any quotes or reviews about this one. You tempt me to read them, but I think I will go into watching this movie with no reviews or info about it beforehand.

I am looking forward to further activity and movie bumps and reviews from you, kev. :)

That was my post in my Slice of Life suggestions thread on the general forum(which I am still very open to suggestions btw), but I don't mind being mixed up with P. Baker, he's a good dude! And I really liked Ebert's review, he seemed to really understand what made the film so wonderful. This is waaay up with Madicken for some of my favorite films I've found here.
