Magnolia Pictures has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to acclaimed Swedish director Lukas Moodyson's new film We Are the Best! (2013), starring David Dencik, Mira Barkhammar, and Liv LeMoyne. The company plans a theatrical release in 2014.
We Are the Best! had its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.
Official synopsis (courtesy of TIFF): With the ebullient and raucous We are the Best!, Swedish master Lukas Moodysson returns to the territory he mined in his first two features, Fucking Amal and Together. Set in early 1980s Stockholm, the film focuses on three girls, Bobo, Klara and Hedvig — outcasts who are about to enter their teenage years, and share little with their classmates. The other girls are offended by their independence and the boys just don't like their punk-influenced style and bravado. They're even less enamoured of the trio when they start their own band — that's something only boys should be doing.
