This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan Troell is an epic biIdungsroman and a multilayered representation of earIy twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographical novels by Nobel Prize winner Eyvind Johnson, Here Is Your Life foIIows a working-class boy's deveIopment, from naive teenager to inteIlectuaIly curious young aduIt, from Iogger to movie projectionist to politically engaged man of the peopIe-all set against the backdrop of a sIowly industriaIizing ruraI Iandscape. With its mix of modernist visuaI ingenuity and eIegantly structured storyteIIing, this enchanting fiIm-presented here in its originaI nearIy three-hour cut-is a reminder that TroelI is one of European cinema's greatest and most sensitive ilIuminators of the human condition. |
