Advantages: very well acted Disadvantages: may be too slow paced for some
Possibly the best film about a 70's Scandinavian hippy commune ever made (probably the only one ever to be made), 'Together' is one of the finest pieces of Swedish cinema you'll ever see (and only one ABBA song to boot).
A subtle film where you'll see no guns, bombs or explosion, it centres on 'Tillsammans' (literally 'Together' in Swedish), a community of free-thinking individuals. A fragmented bunch involving two couples, one separated couple, a political fanatic and a gay man (as well as a child called 'Tet' named after the Vietnam War offensive), the community drink, smoke, eat vegetable stew and talk Marxism.

Together Alone in Anouk's first Album, released on the 24th October 1997. It is a new style ...
Advantages: Full of emotion and feeling, plenty of detail... Disadvantages: Hard to put down, can draw tears to the eyes
the media would be the same without her!
Within the pages of Growing Pains, some photos from Billie's life have been included, ranging from pics of her as a tiny baby and troublesome tot, snaps from her pop days both good and bad, taking us right through to Doctor Who, finishing off with a few screen captures from Treats. Putting aside the Doctor Who snaps, my favourite photo is one of Billie and Chris Evans, at a Barbeque. She looks so well, and they look so happy together! Aww!
******************
Growing Pains has both its good and its bad points.
It is so addictive, I find it almost impossible to put down, and only do so when I absolutely have to! Piper goes into so much detail, using words impeccable, that it is simple to imagine you are there, living her life. You feel involved. And yes, this is grand when you are taken on the magical ...
