‘I’ve been twelve for a very long time’
‘Will you be my girlfriend?’
‘Oskar, I’m not a girl.’
Vampires – they just won’t stay dead, will they? Please forgive the clumsy segue, and allow me to tell you why Tomas Alfredson’s Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In) (2008) (which lifted the Golden Raven at this year’s BIFFF) is perhaps the finest film ever made about the undead.
This is definitely a film you will either like or you won’t. I found it very hard going for the first half an hour at least – a big investment of time considering I couldn’t see what direction it was taking. Directed by Jesper Ganslandt (whose first feature this is), the story grinds on at a snail’s pace for a good long while – not a lot actually happens, at least by major movie standards.
