Plot summary

Göte is a young teen who seems to be at odds with his family and may not know his own mind that well either. Discontented and rebellious, Göte joins up with two mean-spirited game poachers in spite of the fact that he loves animals and nature. This contradiction between his own feelings and his need to rebel reaches a climax when a forest ranger starts to track down the young men in ever-tightening circles.

Göte" (Tomas Bolme) is an handsome and gentle

"Göte" (Tomas Bolme) is an handsome and gentle young man who is having one of those coming of age crises with his aspirational middle class parents. From little more than boredom, he allies himself with the thuggish "Max" (Heinz Hopf) and his muscle "Manne" (Björn Gustafson) who make a living by poaching the deer from the local estate. The squire (Anders Henrikson) is fed up with this so employs the no-nonsense "Sundberg" (Åke Lindman) to be his gamekeeper and to catch these thieves. "Göte" is also involved, after a fashion, with the maid at the big house but when things start to turn sour between him and his two new friends, "Marie" (Birgitta Pettersson) might prove more of a liability for him than a friend. With his options running out, the young man has to face some tough realities - but now alone in the wilderness, has he the strength? This has quite a stylish production to it, and both Bolme and Pettersson are easy enough on the eye but the story is really thin. It's quite clear what auteur Arne Sucksdorff envisaged when he embarked on this teenage angst/rebellion effort but he doesn't develop the character of "Göte" anywhere near enough for us to feel engaged with him, let alone really care what happens as the wheels come of his relationship with the not very menacing Hopf. By leaving the personas of just about everyone disapointingly undercooked, these somewhat bare human threads reduce the potency of the rather sad conclusion and it's message of what's past is, unfortunately all to often, prologue is completely dissipated amidst the bare trees. I could have handled it's downbeat nature had I cared for "Göte" but I didn't, so I didn't.

Gloomy adventures in a Swedish summer landscape

The German distribution title "Der Wilderer vom Teufelsmoor" (The Poacher of Devil's Moor) immediately suggests a home-grown film. But in reality, "Pöjken I Tradet," which should actually be translated as "The Boy in the Tree," is a very special film by Swedish director Arne Sucksdorff (1917-2001). In 1962, the film was nominated for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in Czechia.With beautiful nature shots (cinematography by Gunnar Fischer) that almost seem documentary, the story of young Göte (Tomas Bolme), who doesn't get along with his parents at all and spends almost all his time outdoors, is told. Only his sister (Birgitta Pettersson) has some understanding for her brother, but she's also no match for their arguments. Although Göte has a close connection to the animal world, he joins forces with two teenage poachers (Heinz Hopf and Björn Gustafson). The situation escalates as a gamekeeper (Åke LINDMAN) gets closer and closer to the trio.Such an astonishing and unusual film can be found in the vastness of Netflix's offerings. The real protagonist is the vast Swedish landscape, which uniquely underlines the exciting story of a nature-loving rebel.The two poachers are portrayed by two actors who are also known from other films. Björn Gustafson played the farmhand Alfred in the films about Emil from Lönneberga. Heinz Hopf (1934-2001) played a small role in Ingmar Bergman's FANNY OCH ALEXANDER (1983). He also appeared in the infamous Swedish rape-and-revenge thriller THRILLER: EN GRYM FILM (1973).
