If you loved Pelle der Eroberer, try Die besten Absichten
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Bille August, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pelle der Eroberer, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Die besten Absichten is
A three-hour film about Ingmar Bergman's parents? Someone was feeling confident. Henrik, a poor theology student, meets Anna, a wealthy woman, and they marry despite their differences. Marital stress ensues when Anna finds country life isn't for her. It did win the Palme d'Or, so someone liked it.
