(72 mins, 15)
Directed by Lukas Moodysson; starring Peter Lorentzon, Mariha Aberg

Lukas Moodysson made a fine directorial debut (Show Me Love - 'a young master's first masterpiece.' Ingmar Bergman called it), an even better follow-up, a half-good third film, a terrible fourth one, and he's now come up with the parodically avant-garde Container, which is painful to watch and listen to. On the soundtrack, a woman inside the body of an overweight man delivers a monotonous monologue in a baby-doll voice about the Virgin Mary, Christ, Chernobyl, cancer, the Spice Girls, global warming, Iraq, Kylie Minogue and much else.

Meanwhile, a hand-held camera drifts randomly around a hotel room and a deserted swimming bath, observing an Asian woman, a large Swedish man and a collection of souvenirs. As Prospero said to Ariel: 'How now? Moody?'
