My Life as a Dog

Swedish writer and director Lasse Hallström's definitive masterpiece is a timeless classic about youth dealing with death and sex. A young boy is sent away to live with his uncle after his mother becomes ill where he copes with the loss as well as growing up pains. Based on the novel by Reidar Jönsson, Hallström and his talented cast and crew delivered a heartbreaking coming of age story that's one of the greatest films about children. Young Anton Glanzelius delivered a remarkably mature performance that's the heart and soul of the film. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
