Be warned. This is a beautiful film, but only via its utter bleakness. There is a core of grim humanity to it, and its satirical intentions are totally humanistic and noble, but there is nothing fun here at all.
Be warned that it opens with a scene of a non-graphic but harrowing act of genocide. It gets better from there, but is never pretty. I share it because it's timely and important, not because it's at all pleasant.

REINFORCEMENT: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF FILM BUT ABSOLUTELY YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH IT IF YOU ARE ALREADY DEPRESSED OR DESPAIRING.
I realize this will probably rule out a good half of us. :( Me, I'm having a pretty good day and am finding myself in kind of a "diagnose the problem, grab a needle, bite a leather strap, and lance the boil" kind of mood, which Härlig är Jorden suits very neatly.

I do, on the other hand, think we should round up alt-righties by the hundreds of thousands, force them into cinemas to watch this film Ludovico-style, and then feed them each a cookie and let (what's left of) them go home.
