Tomten är far till alla barnen
(1999)
Nikita Kronlund
Stockholm, Sweden
Date: 23 November 1999
Summary: Best Swedish film 1999!
Celebrating
Christmas today isn´t really how it used to be (or how it supposed tobe). Divorces are more usual, which make a completely different view on the
family.
Sara (Katarina Ewerlöf) invites her ex husbands and their wives and children to
celebrate Christmas at her house with her husband Janne (Peter Haber). While
eating dinner, she tells everyone, that she´s pregnant again, but Janne has been sterilized without her knowledge. Who is the father of the baby?
Director Kjell Sundvall made a great effort with his 1996 hit Jägarna, and I knew
that there were some good actors in the film, but I can´t really say that my
expectations were great, since many Swedish films aren´t good. Fortunately, I
was totally wrong!
The script by Monica Rolfner is witty and really catches the family situation of
today. This along with really good actors (enjoyable to see Alexandra Dahlström
again, who hasn´t done a bad movie so far) with a wonderful timing with the
funny comments makes this film to be a real treat to watch. Only the
cinematography wasn´t that good, but I strongly recommend this comedy if
you´re looking for a big laugh! Rating: 7/10
