==Title==
The original title of the film, ''Fucking Åmål'', refers to the girls' feelings about their small town: In a key scene, Elin shouts in desperation "''varför måste vi bo i fucking jävla kuk-Åmål?''" (which roughly translates to "why do we have to live in fucking bloody cock-Åmål?").<ref name="IndieWire" />
According to Moodysson, the problem with the original title started when the film was Sweden's candidate for the [[Academy Awards]], though eventually it was not chosen as a nominee.<ref name="VarietyOscar">{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/1998/film/news/swedes-love-oscar-1117488019/ |title= Swedes 'Love' Oscar |last=Edmunds |first=Marlene |date=November 1, 1998 |department=News |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation|Variety Media, LLC.]] |access-date=April 14, 2020 }}</ref><ref name="Variety">{{cite journal |url=https://www.academia.edu/12626126 |title=Gareth Griffiths, An Åmål State of Mind, in ''City + Cinema: Essays on the specificity of location in film'', Datutop 29, 2007. |journal=Academia.edu |access-date=May 27, 2015|last1=Griffiths |first1=Gareth }}</ref><ref name="71stSubmissions">{{cite web |url=http://www.oscars.org/pressreleases/98.11.19.html |title=45 Countries Submit Films for Oscar Consideration |date=November 19, 1998 |publisher=[[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990219094343/http://www.oscars.org/pressreleases/98.11.19.html |archive-date=February 19, 1999 |url-status=unfit |access-date=October 20, 2015}}</ref> The Hollywood industry magazine ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' refused to run an advertisement for ''Fucking Åmål''. Thus, American distributor [[Strand Releasing]] asked for a new title.
