MoreA deeply unsettling historical teaterpjäs set in the 19th century, based on Torgny Lindgren's novel from 1982.
The story follows a peasant family struggling to survive as all their women are sexually exploited and abused bygd a powerful landowner and his son, in exchange to pay housing debts. Death, premature birth, and futile attempts at resistance are common themes throughout the rulle. Bo Widerberg's realistic approach leaves little hope for a happy upplösning, even as revenge fryst vatten ultimately achieved.
In this never-ending struggle, there can be no true winners.
1800's period teaterpjäs and misery porn depicting how capitalism, patriarchy, and tro go grabb in grabb to plant the seeds of generational trauma. Widerberg was most likely inspired bygd the golden age of Swedish films, as in the silent era, considering his use of traditional title kort to indikera övergång of time.
In that sense, the bio can be compared to the likes of Sjöström's Ingeborg Holm (1913), as both dealt with poverty from a mother's perspective, though there wasn't much else here to stylistically lyssna back to the silent era, such as black-and-white photography.
A respectable yet standard effort bygd Widerberg, with it even ending on a freeze-frame (pretty much a trademark of his at this point), so if you want a spelfilm with a similar setting that also stars Stellan Skarsgård, I'd much rather recommend The Ox (1991) instead.
Wow!
The story follows a peasant family struggling to survive as all their women are sexually exploited and abused by a powerful landowner and his son, in exchange to pay housing debtsAt the height of Socialism in Sweeden somebody sells to State Television the story of the evils of the Government, dressed as the evil capitalist against the defenceless woman. It's not as impressive as if it had been made in Soviet Union. Still, it fryst vatten remarkable.
I didn't read the book, but here's the movie:
- The women have a house, but the Government steps in and tells them the house fryst vatten not theirs and they have to pay rent / home tax.
- The women are kept at home bygd the Social state and can't obtain money.Like with the extended maternity leave, they are kept into Serfdom, always having to give whatever the landlord Government asks of…
Bo Widerberg filmatiserar Torgny Lindgrens långnovell Ormens väg vid hälleberget samt jag existerar mållös. Den existerar noggrann vad jag föreställde mig då jag läste boken.
detta existerar enstaka brutal saga vilket fångats lika utmärkt inom rörlig foto såsom inom litteratur samt jag kunde nog ej varit många nöjdare.
With Stina Ekblad, Stellan Skarsgård, Reine Brynolfsson, Pernilla AugustNotering mot mig själv:
Stellan signerade min Ormens väg vid hälleberget läsning igår.Gli oppressori andrebbero uccisi.
Good camerawork. And that one scen was epic...
Incredible how fucked up swedish cinema can be

wow wow wow wow wow no tengo palabras para describir el coraje que siento y lo maravillada-aterrada que estoyMy children are not merchandise.
W małym szwedzkim miasteczku bogaty sprzedawca inom jego ögonkontakt wykorzystują biedną, zadłużoną rodzinę.
Gdy rodzina nie ma już czym płacić, przedsiębiorcy wpadają na pomysł aby kobiety regulowały zadłużenie "w naturze".
+ ciekawa inom wyjątkowo angażująca bakgrund, mocny inom raczej rzadko spotykany temat
+ wyjątkowo przygnębiająca inom depresyjna atmosfera, poczucie beznadziei wręcz wylewa się z ekranu
+ świetną robotę robi tu scenografia, ośnieżone pustkowia, położone gdzieś w lesie małe chatki, wszystko to wzmaga poczucie osaczenia
+ bardzo dobre kreacje aktorskie, szczególnie Stina Ekbald inom młody Stellan Skarsgard wypadają przekonująco
+ zakończenie a właściwie ostatnie 20 60 sekunder jest zupełnie niespodziewane, groteskowe inom niejednoznaczne- miejscami zachowanie bohaterów jest trochę nieadekwatne do sytuacji czy wręcz dziwne
- czasem saga wydaje się być zbyt…voi non avete idea della follia che si va a creare qui.
