Summary: A favorite; why out of print?
Review: 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 andunderappreciated (Unlike the similar and also great "Babette's Feast")

Summary: Brilliant Film
Review: This movie is an excellent example of why many European films are so superior to American movies! This brilliantly realized and at times haunting story is hard to forget. After the death of his wife, Lasse and his young son Pelle migrate from Sweden to Denmark in search of a better life for themselves. However, things don't go quite according to plan. I highly advise viewing this film to find out just what does happen to them. The cinematography is beautiful, the music evocative, and the acting is flawless. Add this to your film library - you won't be sorry!
