If there's one thing European directors do better than American ones, it's making movies about childhood and coming of age. This is one of the best. Swedish with subtitles..

I watched another great childhood film last nite--"Hope and Glory", a somewhat autobio by John Boorman. Absolutely loved it! So many more to explore..I'm on a roll now!
Watched the 1988 film "Cinema Paradiso" last nite. A wonderful depiction of a young boy growing up in a small Italian town during WWII with the projectionist of the local cinema. The film creates a strong sense of love and nostalgia for people and places of another time and an endearing affection for the magic of movies themselves. Italian with subtitles..
