Brüderlein trink

Kürzlich waren wir zu viert im Liedberger Landgasthof zum Essen, Trinken und zum gepflegten Gespräch. Ich habe Malzbier getrunken, was ich immer sehr gern mag, auch wenn ich noch fahren muss. Nach dem ersten Fläschchen habe ich dann noch ein zweites bestellt, um mich bei der Gelegenheit dem freundlichen Personal gegenüber als Malzbiersommelier vorzustellen und dann Folgendes vorzutragen: Das…

Tillsammans 99 (Together 99)

Director Lukas Moodysson Stars Gustaf Hammersten, Shanti Roney, Jessica Liedberg, Anja Lundqvist Sweden/Denmark 2023 Language Swedish (with English subtitles) 1hr 55mins Colour

Somewhat darker reunion for the Swedish (mostly ex) hippies

Lukas Moodysson’s Together, about a very earnest left-wing commune in Sweden in the 1970s, is one of my favourite films ever. It’s funny and joyous and life-affirming, never sappy or lazy. But immediately after that, his work became much bleaker, culminating in A Hole In My Heart, ‘watching which basically felt like someone was throwing shit at you’, I once wrote, and I’ll stick by that description. Then in 2013, long after I’d given up on him, there was We Are The Best!, a wonderful surprise that matched Together in both tone and quality.

And now we have Together 99. With any sequel made long after a much-loved original, the correct procedure is to approach with caution. The rationale for making this now is that we are now the same distance in time from the original as the original was from the year it was set. As the title suggests, this film takes place in 1999, when Together was shot. 

So the question the many people I know who loved Together will want to know is: will Together 99 made me as happy as the original did? And the answer is, probably not, or not in the same way. That’s not to say in any way that this is bad film (it’s absolutely not) but it’s certainly a harsher one (to be clear, there are tough bits in Together, but the overall feel of that film is much more upbeat than this one.) 

I felt at times that Moodysson was trying to get to a synthesis between the warmth of Together/We Are The Best! (and his terrific debut, Fucking Åmål*) and his gloomier films of the 2000s.   

So we’re in the last year of the century, and the commune is down to just two members: the instinctively optimistic Göran (Gustaf Hammersten) and the long-suffering Klasse (Shanti Roney, still looking like John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival). They’re both lonely and Klasse is clearly a bit fed up with Göran, but they’ve got nowhere much to go. 

Klasse organises a surprise birthday party for Göran, inviting the former members of the collective, plus a couple of the neighbours who they had taken into their circle. Peter (David Dencik) also turns up – he says he remembers all of them, but no one remembers him. There’s some initial awkwardness, but they have a lovely afternoon together. As evening sets in, though, assorted issues that lingered through the decades come to the surface, and there are some pretty gruelling scenes. 

Moodysson makes sure there are always funny moments, even as things get edgy. And two of the characters drift away from the rest and have a little adventure that is pure entertainment.

It’s shot with handheld cameras and feels naturalistic in an unforced way (as opposed to, say, latter-day Ken Loach). We’re right in there with these characters, and the actors all seem at ease with the parts they are playing, have slipped right back into them. It all feels right. The cast are all great, but maybe a special word for Gustaf Hammersten, whose Göran is the heart of both the commune and these films.

This is a very good film. But if you have fond memories of the vibe of the original, maybe you won’t want to see this one because it does add some sour notes, even while ultimately endorsing the underlying humanism that Together embodied. 

*The title it was given in English-speaking countries is Show Me Love, but that sells the film so short.
