Title: Bille August the Conquerer
Review: This is a wonderful film which gets a 10 on my rating scale.One of the marks of an enduring film for me is that the characters continue to have a life -- they still live -- after the film has ended.I like many movies, but very few are created in such a way as to impart self-contained life to the people within the movie.Pelle the Conquerer is such a movie.The films of John Cassavetes also create characters which continue to live -- Gena Rowland's character in "Woman Under the Influence" or the man trying to revive his lover who has taken an overdose in "Faces".These characters and the aging father played marvelously by Max von Sydow and his son, Pelle, live !!I felt that I was absolutely there and after my visitation -- they all are continuing with their lives !
