Simple Simon the debut film from Swedish director Andreas Öhman, is Sweden's entry to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film where it was selected to the shortlist.  It is a wonderfully light, funny, and uplifting comedy that reminded me of the style of a Wes Anderson film.  With a great young cast, including Bill Skarsgard the younger brother of Alexander of True Blood fame, and a cool soundtrack featuring Scandinavian acts Ane Brun, Loney Dear, and one of my personal favorites Lykke Li.
