recent movies: everlasting momentsEverlasting Moments (Swedish: Maria Larssons eviga ögonblick) is a 2008 Swedish drama directed by Jan Troell,  starring Maria Heiskanen, Mikael Persbrandt and Jesper Christensen. It is based on the true story of Maria Larsson, a Swedish working class woman in the early 1900s, who wins a camera in a lottery, and goes on to become a photographer.

It has been compared to Troell’s previous films Here’s Your Life and As White as in Snow, which are both set around the same time.

The film made the January short-list for the 81st Academy Awards in the category Best Foreign Language Film, but wasn’t selected as one of the final nominees.
