I'm glad I started watching this. It's one of the best shows I've come across lately, every episode bringing tears and/or laughter. Based on slow paced rural, small town people that get thrown into high fashion, industrial enterprise, all due to ideas, determination and mind sets of a few individuals. If you are interested in the ambitions behind the events that were driving some of the amazing business developments in the seventies, you're likely to enjoy every episode of this series. But hey, actually you don't need to care a bit about business, this is basically about looking after those you care for, in full action. Enjoy!

This is an on-the-mark masterpiece that keeps getting better every time I see it. It's about the very essence of being human, about guilt and betrayal, about invoking higher powers and making ends meet. How to get bread and butter for the dinner table. Some of the scenes are just madly humorous, others really heavily sad. There are some rather disgusting scenes as well, but together with Benny Andersson's sharply fine-tuned music, this film becomes a masterly experience. Purchase it, append a digit to the retail price, and resell it to your best friend! Songs is more coherent and less dreamlike than "You the Living". My grading: 9.67
