In mid-19th century Sweden, the aging Lasse Karlsson

In mid-19th century Sweden, the aging Lasse Karlsson (Max von Sydow) and his son Pelle (Pelle Hvenegaard) leave their homeland in search of a better life in Denmark, only to find themselves working as laborers under the iron fist of an immoral landowner. Von Sydow offers up one of his finest performances in a career filled with memorable roles as Lasse, a man of principles who seems unable to stand up for what he believes is right. Clocking in at 150 minutes, Pelle the Conqueror does feel a bit lengthy at times due to too many storylines that don't add much to the film, but it is a beautifully shot movie filled with remarkable period details, costumes, and interesting characters and is well worth investing the time to watch.

An overall interesting film that manages to become

An overall interesting film that manages to become emotionally engaging and has a fitting cast of actors, including the very convincing but traumatized 11-year-old Pelle Hvenegaard and a committed Max von Sydow, as well as several unsettling scenes that drive the whole point home. However, it does flirt with emotional manipulation and sentimentalism now and then, doesn't shy away from repetition during its rather large duration, and rarely becomes surprising in its themes or their depiction.

Star Wars hit me hard as a kid

Star Wars hit me hard as a kid and Pelle hit me hard as a young adult! Still one of my favourite films of all time.
