Zappa is one of the great "coming of age" films of all time! If you love this genre be sure to see this one.

I was impressed and suprised by the movie and Adam Tønsberg the leading actor in both movies

Twist+Shout and Zappa are both very penetrating movies. Maybe because of my youth. I was 13 in 1963 the year the story evolved. The time The Beatles came into our lifes. That sexuality began to play an important role and all connected to it.
Adam Tønsberg is such a great actor. He only played in these two films and is into business now days. Would love to see him in more movies.But he chose a different way of life. I appreciate that. I have to thank him, Lars Simonsen and the director; Bille August for there great performances in 1983.
I give both films a 10 with super stars. And I hope Zappa and Twist+Shout will be released in Holland, because I had to buy them somewhere else in the world.

Beatlemania Teen Life
Added 5/11/2008
This film brought a lot of memories of the 60s back to me. It was an era of hippies where drugs and making love - not war was cool. The film is set in Denmark that draws on a number of universal themes. The editorial review gives a good summary of what the film is about.
*Watch Zappa first when Bjorn was a 13-year-old punk who eventually stands up to the gang leader. Then watch Twist and Shout when Bjorn is 17 and learns to accept responsibility for his actions and help his friend, Eric, when he needed it.
