All Things Fair

All Things Fair (1995) starring Johan Widerberg, Marika Lagercrantz, Tomas Von Bromssen. In 1943 in Sweden a high school student falls for his attractive young teacher, and she responds by throwing herself into the affair. There's one major complication -- she's married. This movie, in Swedish with English subtitles, has many "Swedish" aspects that do not quite translate into English. It is a well made film, but there were several moments when I thought, "Wha?" The characters certainly seem to act in unpredictable ways, which is a good thing, but sometimes what they do just doesn't make sense. This movie was nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Grade: B
