Det nya Lukas-evangeliet: Om det heteronormativa mottagandet av Fucking Åmål

Abstract

Fucking Åmål (Show Me Love, Sweden, 1998) tells the story of the teenaged girls who fall in love and end up coming out to their friends and family. This essay, entitled "The New Gospel According to St Luke: On the Heteronormative Reception of Fucking Åmål", discusses how the central theme of the film was downplayed by the Swedish film critics.
