Young Punks In Love In First Trailer For Lukas Moodysson's WE ARE THE BEST

Long known for his more edgy fare, Lukas Moodysson has been in many ways Sweden's answer to Lars Von Trier: A confrontational auteur prone to plumbing the depths of human darkness and stripping away the artifice of cinema to create films that play like a punch to the gut. And clearly he's decided it's time to do something different with his latest effort, We Are The Best.

Stockholm 1982. A film about Bobo, Klara and Hedvig. Three 12-13-year-old girls who roam the streets. Who are brave and tough and strong and weakand confused and weird. Who have to take care of themselves way too early. Who heat fish fingers in the toaster when mom is at the pub. Who start a punk band without any instruments, even though everybody says that punk is dead.

The first trailer for Moodysson's latest has arrived online, take a look below for a taste.
