Review of Eat Sleep Die (2012) by Ola S — 19 Jan 2013

Eat and sleep and die; is that the fate of the working class? Work isn't and it was quite a while, since we had a Swedish film made in this way about the subject. It's refreshing.

These kinds of stories used to be about so called natural Swedes, but things have changed during the last 40-45 years and working class is now also rather much the same as immigrant class.

There's some tremendous acting here, by people who are more or less amateurs. Nermina Lukac for example shows an extreme talent. No angel, no devil and that's not what class is about. It's about conditions, not about people being in a certain way. That's what's important here.

The film tells a story, yes, but there's no doubt about director Gabriela Pichler's real mission. Like it or not, according to your political views, but refreshing it is.
