Review of Pelle the Conqueror (1987) by Lasse C — 20 Sep 2009
This film is terrific. The story of an immigrant father and his son who try desperately to find their place in the world and be free. Max von Sydow is excellent as Pelle's father. His expressive eyes say it all when it comes to portraying desperation, anger and hope.
Even though the film is hard at times, it also brilliantly portrays the one thing that drives the characters and the central theme of the movie - hope.
