Sweden 2000, 92 minutes
Dir. Josef Fares
In Swedish with English subtitles

Topics: Indigenous & Minority Cultures.

Aroview: A racy comic swirl through the family, romantic, sexual and general personal dilemmas of two Swedish best friends.

While one must suffer the bizarre indignities of an arranged marriage (being a Lebanese immigrant), the other tries a variety of methods to regain his flagging mojo. The title means "Hurry!, Hurry!", which sums up this bustling and frequently funny film, the energy of its DV-photography being entirely appropriate.
