This is a lovely Swedish film about a lost person helping a small town move past its inhibitions and become more than a group of neighbors. The lead character, an internationally famous conductor, is a cypher - a blank slate against whom the rest of the town mirrors its angst, love, desire, repression and ambition. He is a lost soul who has returned to his childhood home to find himself. As the rest of the town feels everything, he is trying to feel something, anything. On Blockbuster.com and Netflix, they compare this to Mr. Holland's Opus. I disagree. Did you ever see Accidental Tourist? It reminds me of that caliber of movie.
