    It had an american remake, I didn’t know it was originally a swedish movie : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_(2017_film)

    But if it’s like Let The Right One In and the Millenium trilogy, the swedish version must be better, I’ve got to watch it

    And to anyone thinking it’s european smug /anti-americanism, no I actually enjoyed some american remakes like True Lies, but the swedish Millenium trilogy with Noomi Rapace is great, just as the original Let Me In / Let The Right One In

        Yep, from La Totale, a french spy comedy film

        But it’s quite different cause the original isn’t action-packed

        The main actor also starred in Le Diner De Cons, which was remade in the US as Dinner For Schmucks, but I prefer the french one

      Right! I have seen the american version too. Neither is a particular good movie. And you should not approach the Swedish film with high hopes of finding something brilliant. You should expect it to be very crass, and see it if you just want to find out what weird shit Swedes create when no one is looking.

          Ah, but that one is good though :-)

          While on the topic… Iron Sky is a Finnish film but in the english language. Quite good. The same creators did Star Wreck: in the pirkinning, a parody movie, this one in Finnish. Too long ago since I saw it to remember if it was funny, mostly odd I think… But they might be something for you then.
