Men who swim and stare at goats

… stare at goats

Nice quote at the end of the credits of ‘The men who stare at goats’ : “The filmmakers ask that no one attempt walking through walls, cloudbursting while driving, or staring for hours at goats with the intent of harming them … invisibility is fine.”

… swim

The mostly Swedish audience clearly enjoyed the pre-premiere, but I highly recommend it too to all foreigners in Sweden : Män som simmar. A documentary about Welsh documentary maker Dylan Williams who migrated to Sweden and is coming to terms with Swedish culture and his mid-life thing – crisis would be too big a word. Most is in Swedish but the voice over is in English and does enough to keep you up to speed in case you don’t master the Swedish language. To learn about the Swedish people, join a club. Williams accounts of him joining a club for male synchronized swimming. The rest is pure joy and regularly hilarious.

Swedish premiere is Friday 12th.
