They Call Us Misfits

They Call Us Misfits Swedish Dom kallar oss mods is a 1968 Swedish documentary film directed, produced and written by Stefan Jarl and Jan Lindqvist. The film is an uncompromising account of the life of two alienated teenagers, Kenneth Kenta Gustafsson 19482003 and Gustav Stoffe Svensson 19501978. The film, like its successor Ett anstndigt liv 1979 A Respectable Life takes a close but nonmoralizing look at the joys and growing pains of mod and junkie street culture in Stockholm at the time.

Another friend of the guys, Jojje, talks about how alcohol will destroy them in time, but that he doesnt worry much about it right now. The filmmakers have fixed a small apartment for Kenta and Stoffe which is a big difference for the guys who previously slept outdoors or in the apartments of others. Kenta and Stoffe talk about their childhood. Stoffes father drank himself broke and died in hospital. Kentas father tried to strangle him with a tie. Stoffe also remembers that he thought it was fun to play at home when he was little. We see the two guys go to 4an, a club for young people. Stoffe likes to be with many girls, but tells Eva, who he sleeps with, that he wants her for himself. Kenta and Stoffe make a musical performance, where they play a song by The Zombies.It is now winter and a trip to Hedemora in Dalarna is taken accompanied by Hasse.
