Cole Parker Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Like Chris, it's rare for me to watch foreign films, but I do occasionally stumble upon one that catches my interest. I don't know the availability of this in stores. I subscribe to Netflix and receive their streaming video service, which is where I found this movie. The name of the film is Patrik, age 1.5. It's about two married men trying to adopt a child in Sweden. I highly recommend this very well made and performed drama. C Link to comment
Chris James Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wow, they have the whole film posted online. I remember reading about this, and it won awards. Thanks for the heads up, Cole. I do believe it comes with English subtitles, but here's a look. Anyone speak Swedish?: Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, yes, of course it has subtitles. My Swedish is worse than my Hungarian, and I don't know that language at all. C Link to comment
Merkin Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sure you do, Cole. Just put an itsy-bitsy pinch of paprika in the goulash and we'll all shout hurrah and squeeze your saber. Actually, though, we've come to think that your biro is mightier than your saber. See, you know some Hungarian after all. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Uh, I was making a joke. It wasn't to be taken seriously. I was actually in Hungary two years ago and did pick up a few words. When in Sweden 30 years ago, I also got some words, but the only one I rmemeber is Tak, which means Thanks. I think.
