Movie Story
The internationally-acclaimed director of "Together" and "Lilja 4-ever", Lukas Moodysson, presents a globe-spanning, modern family drama in "Mammoth". Gael Garcia Bernal and Oscar-nominee Michelle Williams star in a story of about the rippling effects of life's smallest choices, and the epic ironies that bind us all together. "Mammoth" follows a young New York family that has stumbled into a world of money and big decisions. Leo (Gael Garcia Bernal), the creator of a booming website, and Ellen (Michelle Williams), a dedicated emergency surgeon live the perfect life with their 8-year old daughter Jackie (Sophie Nyweide). But when Leo travels to Thailand on business, and Ellen begins to see her daughter less and less after her long hours at work, a chain of events is sparked that will have dramatic consequences for everyone.

Takes you through wonderfully realistic dialogues and an internalised journey, beyaond hope or dispair - all in a tailor made pace.

posted by pius on Feb 10, 2009Pretty good, actually. Not as good as it could have been, but not a total disappointment. Performances are excellent.
posted by mm on Apr 12, 2009Interesting movie. The plot seems clear from beginning to end, but still a question you have to ask yourself: Do you live your life properly - in big as well as small things? The last star is for the soundtrack, which is absoultely fabulous!

posted by pete on Aug 23, 2009Really enjoy it. Does anyone know what´s the song playing during the thailandian affair scene? When Gael and the thai girl are swimming in the sea at night?
