review of the new Xavier Dolan film "Tom
at the Farm" in todays SvD. A phrase caught my eye. Actually a quote
from another critic: Carl-Johan Malmberg. He said it about
Dolan's previous film "Laurence Anyways" and it really hit me.
Malmberg said that this film was about the question of how we can be to the one
we love what we want to be to ourselves (in Swedish "hur få vara för den
man älskar den man vill vara för sig själv").
I don't think I'll get
the answer through watching any of these movies, although I'm sure they are good. However, I'm glad they brought me such
a precise and true question.
