The musical film You are always in my heart is wonderful and a bit silly

“Hey this could suit you”, exclaimed the spouse while browsing Yle Areena’s film selection: a Swedish romantic comedy and starring Jonas Karlsson.

Thank you dear! This is just the right light program for a Sunday evening. And I have been a fan of Jonas Karlsson ever since I saw his wonderful acting work in Christmas 2002 Gustav III – in the main role of the drama. Since then, Karlsson has become a regular face in Swedish films and TV series, known among other things Beck-movies, at a young age as Strindberg and for example About the raspberry boat refugee.

You are always in my heart -film takes place in the oh-so-idyllic western Swedish small-town milieu. 35-year-old Isabella with a career in Stockholm (Malin Åkerman) returns to his old hometown to celebrate his father (Johan Ulveson) 60th anniversary and meet many of his former friends after a long time. The most important of them are the childhood crush Simon (Christian Hillborg) and Edvin (Jonas Karlsson), who has a troublesome mother (Marie Richardson) and the secret.

The movie the main question is, of course, who will get whom, and the answer is clear to the viewer pretty much from the beginning. But in rom-coms, the tension is not created by the end result, but by how the end result is reached.

Of course, there are many twists and turns in the journey – starting with Isabella discovering that she still loves Simon, who is about to marry Isabella’s teenage bestie Molly (Also Miavarani) with.

The threat of the closure of the local factory worsens the relationship mess. Both Isabella’s father and Edvin work at the factory, and Isabella herself also has a surprising link to it.

This one this is why in the film they break out into singing, and it’s self-deprecating, because I’m not really a fan of musicals and many of the singing scenes seem silly. But the Swedes are great, and among the songs there are a couple I know: Thomas Ledinin a blockbuster hit Sensual Isabella and Summer is short.

In this movie, they break out into singing.

After googling, it turns out that actually the size Edward of Sillénin directed by Tomas Ledin, the film is based on music. That is, the same Swedish artist who our president just awarded with the Pro Finlandia medal!

So.

Dear Mr. President of the Republic, the next time you have time for yourself (hopefully even during the Christmas holidays), pop a bag of micro popcorn, put your feet up on the coffee table and let it spin You are always in my heart eli Part of my heart. The movie is Yle Arena Until December 31.
