Swedish-born poet and novelist Lukas Moodysson made a splash with his film debut, Show Me Love, in 1998, and has since then delivered a number of controversial and experimental films. His latest movie, the adventurous romp We Are the Best!, centering on a group of tomboyish tweens in 1982 Stockholm, is a return to the more optimistic and loose-limbed vibe of his early work. I recently had a chance to speak to Moodysson one-on-one, about his movie, punk music, religion and being a “self-critical amateur.” The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
