I want to recommend:
Show Me Love (Original Title: ****ing Åmål) The title has no allusion towards sex, however, the title origin from the extremely monotonous town of Åmål in mid Sweden.
This Swedish creation is an excellent film about teenage homosexuality and the pain that the gay adolescence face in today’s society. The film is great, since it displays consideration for the theme with both seriousness and humor. Anyone who views the film does not have to be gay in order to recognize himself or herself as they were as teenagers with curiousness and strife for maturity. I must say that this is one of the better GLBT films that I have seen in a long time, however, the transfer is horrendous and the subtitles are often misspelled and grammatically wrong. Then again, I am fluent in Swedish, which helps.
