Customer Reviews of Pelle the Conqueror
A favorite; why out of print? This is one of my favorite movies; why is it out of release? The plot, simple but involving; the characters, so clearly drawn you feel you know them; the mood and art of the film - Scandinavian in simplicity and directness, yet beautiful and sensuous; and the ending, which always makes me both cry and be happy, are an unforgettable mix of movie perfection. Max von Sydow is incredible, as is Pelle. Please re-release this! (It won an Oscar, I think). Vastly unknown by the public and
underappreciated (Unlike the similar and also great "Babette's Feast")
Best movie I have seen in a long time.
I stumbled into Pelle by accident in the Bravo Channel a few days ago. I have not been able to get Pelle out of my mind. It is a beautiful movie about the hopelessness of life as a worker in a farm in Sweden. Pelle, the stableman's son hears about America and it becomes his dream. The scenery, the actors, specially Pelle and his dad are excellent. I watched the English dubbed version. Dubbing was well done. I just found out this is an older movie which was just recently dubbed in English. The best movie I have seen in a long time.
Elend, elend, elend,...
Max von Sydow magnificently plays a certain type of Scandinavian man, maybe his best film of the ones I've seen. I saw the movie when it came out, remembered it as fantastic but forgot the details, then watched the video again recently. Tried to watch it with my 7 and 12 year old sons, but the older one couldn't take it: too much sadness. The theme of the movie: unfathomable human cruelty, that 'happiness' is only an illusion. How to know that the movie was filmed on Bornholm? The Rundkirk in a burial scene.
