Show Me Love
I don’t recall how this film made it into my netflix queue but I’m thrilled that it did. This film by swedish director Lukas Moodysson blew me away. Show Me Love is his feature length directorial debut that weaves its story around the sexual maturation of two girls as they fight off the pressures of a labeling society in order to define themselves on their own terms. The film features one of the most literal representations of “coming out of the closet” that I’ve ever seen. It shines in its ability to harmonize the innocence, energy, and relentless passion of youth with the pain that is growing up and trying to fit into the adult shaped cookie cutter provided for us.
