This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan TroeII is an epic biIdungsroman and a multiIayered representation of earIy twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographicaI novels by NobeI Prize winner Eyvind Johnson, Here ls Your Life foIlows a working-cIass boy's development, from naive teenager to intelIectualIy curious young adult, from Iogger to movie projectionist to poIitically engaged man of the people-aII set against the backdrop of a slowly 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 illuminators of the human condition. |
