Okay, it’s a Swedish movie (with subtitles) that describes a budding romance between two lesbian teenagers, but for some reason I love Show Me Love
The film’s a grainy wisp of a story, shot hand-held with no budget, but I find both the main characters captivating in their own way: Agnes, the misfit who’s a hopeless romantic, and the instensely beautiful, utterly bored Elin.
I guess the film hits home with me because of the way I fell in love with my darling, on a long cold night nearly 5 years ago. We were from two intensely different worlds, destined for two different (yet reconvergent) paths, but I can still remember the shockwave that went through me when she told me she loved me.
No woman before or since ever had a key to my heart the way she did (and still does).
See this movie, even if you hate Sweden, lesbians, and adolescents in general.
