As Is
First film role for actress Helen Sjöholm, one of Sweden's biggest stars on the musical stage.,When Arne announces that the choir will be going to Austria, he says that they will travel to Mozart's home town. This would either be Salzburg (where Mozart was born) or Vienna (where he spent much of his life). However, the town seen in the film is actually Innsbruck.,Inger: God doesn't forgive because He has never condemned.,Featured in The 77th Annual Academy Awards (2005),Reihngold
Written by Richard Wagner
Performed by the Tiroler Symphonieorchester
Conducted by Georg Schmöhe,A beautiful film, touching profoundly up the simple, yet divine aspects of humanity.

This movie was almost perfect, and seeing as nothing in this world can be truly perfect, that is pretty good. The only minor thing I subjectively object to, is the pacing at some points in the middle of the story. The acting is also very good, and all the actors easily top actors in high-profile films. The actual directing seems to have been well thought through, and the script must have been amazing. There are some truly breathtaking moments of foreshadowing, and a quite gorgeous continuing circular composition of the story.

The moment in the movie, when the main character achieves that feeling of being in heaven is the perfect ending to a truly brilliant yarn.,
