anyone watching a swedish classic must have an understanding of film. Seems that the previous comment...does not understand film and art in film. So best to stick with cartoons and not rattle your brain for more in depth understanding. You comment is baseless.

Feel like being bored for an hour and a half by another Swedish turd? Then by all means, try out 'Torment'. It's the sleep inducing story of Widgren, a high school senior who hates his schmucky latin professor. He's not alone in that, the other teachers hate this guy along with the rest of the student body. So eventually there's a conflict between the two when Wid falls for a townie girl with a bad rep. It's not the worst movie I've seen, but you'd probably be better off watching something else. On the positive side though, it plays like a normal movie and not a European art house flick.
