    Series Statement: The Lukas Moodysson Collection
    Uniform Title: Container
    Content: Swedish director Lukas Moodysson's follow-up to his shockfest "A Hole In My Heart" should have been called "A Hole in My Head". Bordering on psychosis, it features a rambling stream-of-consciousness voiceover from Jena Malone (Donnie Darko) and a collage of story-lite visuals in which a fat transsexual (Peter Lorentzon) prances about in a blond wig and a skinny woman (Mariha Åberg) washes ravioli in a bathtub. It's dark, disconcerting and sometimes dull; only hardcore arthouse obsessives need apply ... Like "A Hole in My Heart", this is a film about loneliness, despair and the hell of existence. It doesn't feature the vaginal surgery or vomit of Moodysson's previous effort, but it's no less bleak. Weird juxtapositions are created: fan letters to porn star Savannah sit next to comments on the Holocaust. Moodysson says he expects his film to find an appreciative audience of seven. He's probably right. But those seven will doubtlessly think it's one of the weirdest, most disturbing things they've seen in ages. [www.bbc.co.uk]

    Content: The images and soundtrack in Container are formally separate: there is no diegetic sound, and the voiceover, which comprises the entire soundtrack until the closing minutes, when it's accompanied by an electronic drone, bears no direct relation to the action on screen. The image track follows a dejected occasional transvestite, sometimes accompanied by a young woman, through a number of locations in an unnamed city, a landfill site and a seemingly deserted hospital. The soundtrack is a continuous off-screen monologue by someone who may or may not be the American actress Jena Malone. (Sight & Sound)
    Content: A disturbing but very intelligent and sensitive movie that dares to uncover the darkest thoughts and feelings of a human being, which are at the same time childish and innocent. Only recommended for people fearless enough to confront themselves. The most intimate film I have ever seen. Once again the director manages to address in a very original way the complexity of the human being, the desire for acceptance and the fear of being considered different. It shows how ambivalent our feelings are, how society has constructed a fixed idea of guilt with anything that is not considered normal by social standards when there is nothing more human than to dare to be oneself at the price of being misunderstood. Not recommended for simple minds. (jguerrero-1, IMDb)
