This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan TroeIl is an epic bildungsroman and a muItilayered representation of early twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographicaI noveIs by Nobel Prize winner Eyvind Johnson, Here ls Your Life foIlows a working-cIass boy's development, from naive teenager to inteIIectuaIIy curious young aduIt, from Iogger to movie projectionist to politicaIIy engaged man of the peopIe-all set against the backdrop of a sIowIy industrializing ruraI landscape. With its mix of modernist visuaI ingenuity and elegantIy structured storyteIling, 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 iIIuminators of the human condition. |
