PELLE THE CONQUEROR may now be twenty-three years old as a film but the power and beauty of this epic masterpiece from Denmark still retain the brilliance of its original 1987 theatrical release. Based on a four volume novel by Martin Andersen Nexø the screenplay by writer/director Bille August, Per Olov Enquist, and Bjarne Reuter granted takes only a small portion of the original story and that explains why so much of what happens in this 2 1/2 hour film is only vaguely explained, but the end result is a marvelous drama of the relationship of a father (Lassefar, brilliantly realized by the venerable Max von Sydow), who has pride but has not the courage of his convictions, and a son (Pelle, a masterpiece of young acting by Pelle Hvenegaard) who dreams of finding a life better than the bitterly poor existence he shares with the father he loves. The film takes place in Denmark near the turn of the 19th century over the course of a year and during that time the Pelle encounters peer prejudice from being a Swedish immigrant who has traveled to Denmark for the good life, class distinction between the wealthy landowners and the poverty stricken workers, the double standard of morals of the learned 'role models', death, physical abuse, young love between two lovely people who out of fear drown their infant at birth, the harsh realities of gathering sustenance from laboring the land and the sea, the bonds of true friendship with a bastard child of the land owner, and the disappointment of losing hope of conquering the world by means of accompanying a friend who must remain a vassal for two years who becomes brain damaged in an alteration with the foreman. Yet through all of these lessons Pelle learns about the survival of the fittest and despite all odds being against him, strikes out toward the frozen sea to await his ship of fortune. This is a film about dreams and realities, about surviving physical and mental stresses, about adapting to the seasons and the struggles of indentured life. The stench of the farm and the grace of the snowfields are captured with amazing perfection by cinematographer Jörgen Persson and the mood of this film's story is accompanied by the music of Stefan Nilsson. The cast is huge and uniformly excellent, much due to the sensitive direction by Bille August. This is a classic film, one that is enjoyed more with repeated viewings. This is definitely one for the home library. Breathtaking. Grady Harp
In spite of the presence of Bergman's veteran Max Von Sydow,this movie harks back to the Italian rural cinema of the seventies ,with a zest of "ladri di biciclette "thrown in.The very long Italian sagas of the seventies,"novecento" (1976,Bertolucci) and "l'albero degi zoccoli" (1978,Ermano Olmi)comes naturally to mind.From Bertolucci's work,Erik's character:he's the only one who has a political awareness,almost an anomaly in a movie where "everyman for himself and God for us all!"seems the motto,particularly the young hero's.It's not surprising that ,in the wake of an accident,Erik loses his mind.The owners couple is also Bertolucciesque,and the castration scene could fit in "novecento" . Actually,August's movie seems closer to "l'albero degli zoccoli":it's a rather static work-not meant pejoratively- which lacks Bertolucci's lyricism and epics.Except for Pelle,and Erik,all are resigned,and day in, day out,we attend the simple and hard life of the farm workers;sometimes it's heart-wrenching,and sometimes it drags on a bit.The most interesting character is the central one,Pelle.He's a very ambiguous one;the title "the conqueror" is thoroughly justified:unlike Erik,he intuitively understands that rebellion is pointless.You've got to know the rules of the game,and the way to the conquest goes through education,therefore school.His relationship with his father (Von Sydow) is not so warm it appears at first sight.Pelle feels humiliated when he sees, through the keyhole ,his father unable to defend himself against his very young boss;it could recall "laddi di biciclette",but in that latter work,the child did not despise his father,in August 's Work,he does.And eventually,he leaves his father alone ,a father whose life was never fulfilled and now would have to die on his own.Under an academic veneer,it's an apology of individual social advancement-as the scene in which Von Sydow marvels at his son's school prowess shows-,and too bad for those who fall by the wayside.
