"Den bästa sommaren" is a very entertaining and charming Swedish film set in rural Sweden in the 1950s. Once again Ulf Malmros has written a great script (he also wrote the script for e.g. the Swedish "cult" tv-series "Rapport till himlen"). And once again Malmros works with Kjell Bergqvist who is simply brilliant in this film. The character suits him perfectly. So, basically, what's best about this film is Bergqvist, but the movie in itself is also very entertaining and funny.
