A LUKAS MOODYSSON SELECTROSPECTIVE

Lukas Moodysson has a slate of vastly different masterpieces. The Swedish filmmaker was dubbed a "young master" by legendary director Ingmar Bergman, and yet, he is no household name beyond his native country.

But his work - chronicling everything from coming out in a small town, to kids starting a punk band in the 80's, to an unflinching depiction of a trafficked teenager - will leave you absolutely breathless. Sometimes from laughter. Sometimes from devastation. Perhaps that's why Moodysson is difficult to figure out.
