Bille August’s 1987 award winner is yet another full cinema meal, a deeply satisfying drama about working conditions among Scandinavian immigrants back when being poor was a life sentence. Max von Sydow’s performance is stunning, as an aging stock tender forced to begin again as a veritable serf. He and his good son Pelle are surrounded by little dramas dealing with injustices among the workers and servants, as well as between the landholders in the big farmhouse.

“You’ll have to go without me, Pelle. I don’t have strength to travel anymore. I’m too old. Too old. I don’t have a future. Do you understand?”
Pelle The Conqueror (1987) screens Friday April 28th through Sunday April 30th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts at 7:30 all three evenings.
In the Oscar-winning classic Pelle The Conqueror, Lassefar (Max von Sydow), an elderly and widowed farmer, and his young son Pelle (Belle Hvenegaard), join a boat-load of immigrants to escape from impoverished rural Sweden to Denmark’s Baltic island of Bornholm. They are employed at a large farm in Denmark, where they are treated as the lowest of the low. It is ultimately their loving relationship, which sustains them through a difficult year. Pelle The Conqueror offers a deep insight into the life of immigrants from one country of Scandenavia to the other.

Contrary to a story that we brought you back in August, THR tells us that Woody Allen will follow this year’s Nero Fiddled with a feature set in Copenhagen, Denmark. (The prior story claimed that Munich, Germany would be the next stamp on his passport. Das wurde nicht sollen sein.)
Such news coming this early in the project’s life leaves details quiet, with the involvement of Allen‘s frequent producer Letty Aronson & Danish company Per Holst — along with the mention of a 2013 shoot — being the only items that could be taken as hard facts. (When those are “hard facts,” you kind of get the picture.) A tad odd, then, that Allen might take a year off from filmmaking, what with his consistent one-per-year schedule and, not to mention, another promising effort in the pipeline; not that he hasn’t earned a quick breather, though. And will a year...

Lest you think winning an Oscar for Best Screenplay for "Midnight In Paris," taking a starring role in the upcoming comedy "Fading Gigolo" and preparing "Bullets Over Broadway" for the musical stage has kept Woody Allen from keeping his eye on his next movie, guess again. With Europe continuing to inspire a late career rebound with movies set in London, Paris, Barcelona and Rome ("Nero Fiddled"), it's no shocker that the helmer is once again looking overseas as the setting for his next outing.
THR reports that his longtime producer (and sister) Letty Aronson is currently in talks with Danish producer Per Holst about brining the writer/director's next movie to Copenhagen for a 2013 shoot. But, we'll see how this plays out. Over the summer, Munich was revelead as also being in the mix and frankly, it'll probably come down to whichever city can offer up the best financial incentives to the production.

Over the last eight years, filmmaker Woody Allen has forayed outside the comfort of his New York City environment to make films in other countries, starting with a quartet of films in England, which included Match Point and Scoop , as well as Vicky Cristina Barcelona in Spain. A few weeks back, Allen won his fourth Oscar for his screenplay for Midnight in Paris and on June 22, his next movie Nero Fiddled will take him to Rome. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Allen's next untitled film will take him to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, as he continues his tour of European cities. According to the story, Allen's collaborator on these European films, producer Letty Aronson, is in talks with Danish producer Per Holst ( Per the Conqueror ) to set up the production for a...
