Life on a commune in the mid-1970s may seem like a soft target but, as he demonstrated with Show Me Love, Swedish director Lukas Moodysson isn't interested in the obvious. There's plenty of laissez-faire liberalism in the attitudes of the chunky sweatered leader and his kaftan-wearing acolytes. Yet, amid all the dope-smoking and free-loving permissiveness, there's a real sense of sociopolitical conflict as human nature intrudes upon the idyll. Exploring the group's self-satisfied moral rectitude and their blithe disregard for how this alternative lifestyle will impact on their children, Moodysson provides a shrewd and sympathetic insight into an era when apathy wasn't an option.
