"Freud Leaving Home"
1991
Directed by Suzanne Bier

A psychobabbling 25-year-old girl, nicknamed Freud, is the focus of this bittersweet comedy.  Freud still lives at home with her Jewish family in Stockholm. As her family comes together for their mother's 60th birthday party, they are given the news of the mother's fatal illness. Forced to confront the reality of their relationships and their identities, the family members reach a point of recognition and Freud tries to flee the family drama. "Strikingly original, both in its use of humor and its new twist on the traditional Jewish family" (Screen International). Swedish with English subtitles.  100 minutes.
