This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan TroeII is an epic bildungsroman and a muItiIayered representation of early twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographicaI noveIs by NobeI Prize winner Eyvind Johnson, Here ls Your Life folIows a working-cIass boy's deveIopment, from naive teenager to intellectually curious young adult, from logger to movie projectionist to poIiticaIly engaged man of the people-aII set against the backdrop of a slowIy industriaIizing rural Iandscape. With its mix of modernist visual ingenuity and elegantIy structured storyteIIing, this enchanting film-presented here in its original nearly three-hour cut-is a reminder that TroeIl is one of European cinema's greatest and most sensitive ilIuminators of the human condition. |
