SWEDEN

1. MY LIFE AS A DOG


Director: Lasse Halstrom

Year: 1985

Awards/Recognition: Golden Globe Best Foreign Language Film Winner
Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film Nominee
BAFTA Best Film Nominee


Summary: Ingemar spends his summer in his Uncle's place when his sick mother couldn't take care of him and his older brother anymore. Ingemar learns a lot of lessons an ordinary boy could ever get.

Ratings/Comments: I am actually expecting a lot from this film because I have been a lover of heartwarming mellow dramas about kids and their nostalgic childhood that will give bittersweet smile on your face. It fell of a bit short for me, though the film generally has a good form.
9/10
