As all filmfestivals go, there are too many films shown and one has to choose carefully. We were not sure about the film but knew that the Skandia-Teatern was worth a visit. Famous architect Gunnar Asplund was involved in the creation of this beautiful cinema theater. It opened 1923 and was renovated to its former splendor. In red and gold and in a style known as 'Semi-Atmospheric'. Not knowing exactly what that is, we admired the freeze along the balcony and the golden Adam and Eve figures framing the screen just before the lights dimmed.
Eve made us think about the starlets in Cannes. The film 'Girlhood' was a French new film about girls becoming women and with the classic themes of beauty, love, hate, violence and family.
