Finding your voice,
By Thomas Wikman "Texas Swede" - Published on Amazon.com
I have only reviewed one movie before (a bad one), but I had to say something about this movie because it was such a great surprise. I think this is the best movie I have seen for years and my wife liked it even more. This movie is beautiful, touching, and has an important message. I think it is the best Scandinavian movie since "My Life as a Dog" and "Babettes Feast", perhaps the best Scandinavian movie ever. It is in Swedish with English subtitles.Daniel Dareus a famous musician returns to his Childhood village Ljusåker in Northern Sweden after ending his career in the aftermath of a heart attack. The members of the local church choir ask him to help them. His professional methods are not easily understood by the locals but the choir members love him. The drama filled events that unfold result in people finding the courage to face their fears and to grow, something that is not appreciated by everyone. All his life all Daniel wanted to do was to help people finding their voice, and for the first time in his life he truly succeeds in doing that in more than one way. The village and its people reminded me a lot of my own home village in Northern Sweden (I am from further North though). Daniel Dareus reminded me in more than one way of my Amazon friend Giordano Bruno and I recommend it to all my Amazon friends and anyone who is interested in seeing something different. 58 of 59 people found the following review helpful

Inspiring on all levels,
By Fifield Sereti "sereti" - Published on Amazon.com
This review focuses on various human-emotion topics of the film rather than details of the storyline:I sobbed from a spiritual/soul epiphany sparked by this film. Films like this that dig beneath the surface of human experience are once in a blue moon. It demonstrates a sincere belief in the good of people- it speaks the message again and again that one's best is all anyone can ever do. It serves to humanize all members of a society, regardless of their actions (referring to battered woman and husband). It is a story of a group of individuals learning to listen to one another and harmonize- the choir is a metaphor for the grander society; an indispensable lesson for the well-being of our world. It is about release of judgment and fears. A beautiful film! If you enjoyed Life is Beautiful (Roberto Benini) or Together(another Swedish film)- you may really like As It Is In Heaven. 55 of 57 people found the following review helpful

The power of sound,
By vikingshamrock "dollydaydream" - Published on Amazon.com
This is the first movie I've been to where at the end I wanted to stand and applaud. I think the sound of the choir at the end had such an overwhelming physical affect I was physically and emotionally moved. I felt as if all my cells were hopping.After I saw this film I heard a physician on public radio talking about 'sound therapy' and the ways in which music, song and sound can heal the body. |
