Let the Right One In

Come to the Wolfson College Seminar Room at 8pm this Sunday 31st of January to see Let the Right One In (Låt den Rätte Komma In), a Swedish film based on the famous novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The film's direction transcends genres, going beyond artificial labels to "aim for the heart", as Clint Eastwood would say :)

The story begins when a young boy, Oskar, witnesses the arrival of a new neighbour in the depth of night. He soon meets the strange, pale skinned girl Eli, who seems to pay no heed to the bitter cold of the Swedish winter, and only comes out at night. A deep bond of affection soon develops between them, but Oskar's innocence soon gives way to experience as she teaches him how to deal with the tormentors he must face each day at school. But Oskar soon discovers the true bitterness of experience when he discovers Eli's secret...
