The Swedish verb försvinna (imperative försvinn!) was actually borrowed from German in the middle ages.

The pronunciation still is sufficiently similar that a speaker of one of the languages would easily understand it if uttered in the other one.

In the basement scene where Eli appears as an older version of herself, I don't think that's Leandersson on the floor with an older face digitally superimposed. I think it's the older actress herself.

I rewatched the scene and it seems I stand corrected. I always assumed it was at least Lina's body in both the "Gå" and "Försvinn" shots, but I never noticed how much Eli's hands and pose change between the two shots. Guess I learned something new today.

Never noticed that about the basement scene. I always thought Lina had some kind of makeup on during the "be me" shot. Oskar compares a starving Eli to a Holocaust survivor in the book. I always thought Eli looked older after dropping the Rubik's cube. Recently, I learned that the filmmakers used CGI to alter her face during different stages of hunger:



I can't find any pictures of Susanne Ruben.

I read about that. That his eyes were made bigger. I hadn't known other changes were made that way, as well. I like how his face changes, to show the different states.
