Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Long but rewarding, the Danish-Swedish
Pelle the
Conqueror is based on the early passages of Martin Andersen Nexoe's
four-volume novel. Pelle (Pelle
Hvengaard) is the son of a 19th-century Swedish farmer (Max
Von Sydow). Seeking escape from their poverty-stricken surroundings,
father and son emigrate to Denmark. Upon arrival, however, they are treated
like indentured servants, leading to a profound ideological turnaround for the
impressionable Pelle. In the original novel, Pelle ended up embracing
Communism. Nexo's political overtones are soft-pedalled in the film, which
concentrates on the close, indestructable relationship between Pelle and his
father. Adapted for the screen by
Bille August,
Pelle the
Conqueror won the 1988 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
