Revisited: Victor Sjöströms noble, magnificent film, the first masterpiece of the Golden Age of Swedish cinema, also a contender for Sjöström's best film. The grip is vigorous, more dynamic than in certain later films by Sjöström. - This Swedish film is in Norwegian. We screened this film for the first time in our cinema with Finnish subtitles. Henrik Ibsen's poem has never been translated into Finnish before, and now Saara Villa had created a poetry translation that enhanced the experience.
