This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan Troell is an epic bildungsroman and a multilayered representation of early twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographical noveIs 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 logger to movie projectionist to poIitically engaged man of the people-aIl set against the backdrop of a sIowly industriaIizing ruraI Iandscape. With its mix of modernist visual ingenuity and elegantly structured storyteIIing, this enchanting film-presented here in its original nearly three-hour cut-is a reminder that TroelI is one of European cinema's greatest and most sensitive ilIuminators of the human condition. |
