(English) Scandal, shame, and destruction beset the beautiful Kristin Lavransdatter when she rejects her arranged marriage and pursues a romance with the strapping young knight Erlend. In 1995, more than half the population of Norway bought tickets to see this critically-acclaimed medieval romance.
This epic love story set in 14th century Norway is Liv Ullmann's remarkable adaptation of Sigrid Undset's 1928 Nobel Prize winning novel. KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER follows one woman's decision to break with tradition to marry the man she loves rather than the man her father has chosen for her. Torn between her longing for love and her sense of family loyalty, she ventures into a life fulled with passion and pain, joy and sorrow. The star of many Ingmar Bergman films, director Ullman collaborates here with cinematographer Sven Nykvist (CRIES AND WHISPERS) to create a film as visually entrancing as Bergman's finest. Her insightful exploration of medieval society captures the essence of life throughout the ages.
(Norwegian) Filmen Kransen er en av de største filmsuksessene til Liv Ullmann, som hadde regien, og en av de mest sette filmene i Norge. |
