A Burnt Child
Emil,
I have been bingeing on Scandinavian films for the past month. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks.
You should check out Swedish silents. Körkarlen by Victor Sjöström and Gösta Berlings saga by Mauritz Stiller with Greta Garbo in her first feature film and a phenomenal, and later Hollywood star, Lars Hanson. You seem to know about Bo Widerberg but if you haven't seen Kvarteret Korpen you should. And then there's Jan Troell and especially his films Här har du ditt liv!, Utvandrarna and Nybyggarna. And to name two more recent films: Äta, sova, dö by Gabriela Pichler which is reminiscent of the brothers Dardenne and Play by Ruben Östlund. You should also check out the danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer if you haven't.
