TrustNordisk will kick off Berlin International Film Festival with presales on Swedish helmer Lukas Moodysson´s upcoming project at this year´s European Film Market in Berlin.
VI ÄR BÄST (international title TBA) is written and directed by Lukas Moodysson, based on the graphic novel “Never Goodnight” by Coco Moodysson and tells a humorous and honest tale about three outsiders in 1980´s Stockholm.
A film about Bobo, Klara and Hedvig. Three 12-13-year-old girls who roam the streets. Who are brave and tough and strong and weak and confused and weird. Who have to take care of themselves way too early. Who heat fish fingers in the toaster when mom is at the pub. Who start a punk band without any instruments, even though everybody says that punk is dead.
“Lukas Moodysson is one of the most acclaimed directors in Nordic cinema and we are proud to launch presales on this delightful and warmhearted film.” says Rikke Ennis, CEO at TrustNordisk.
VI ÄR BÄST stars newcomers Mira Barkhammar, Mira Grosin and Liv LeMoyne in the main roles as Bobo, Klara and Hedvig while supporting roles will be played by e.g. David Dencik, Johan Liljemark, Anna Rydgren and Mattias Wiberg.
Lukas Moodysson burst onto the international scene with his debut feature, the award-winning film FUCKING ÅMÅL (SHOW ME LOVE) in 1998. SHOW ME LOVE was followed by TOGETHER (2000), LILYA 4-EVER (2002) and MAMMOTH (2009), the latter was selected for Official Competition at Berlin International Film Festival in 2009. VI ÄR BÄST is Lukas Moodysson´s 7th feature film.
VI ÄR BÄST is produced by Lars Jönsson for Memfis Film, co-produced by Film I Väst, SVT and Zentropa in co-operation with Denmarks Radio and with support from the Swedish Film Institute, The Danish Film Institute and Nordisk Film and TV Fund.
