RICH AND REWARDING

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was

Pelle erobreren / Pelle the Conqueror (1987)

It is one of those Swedish films that has just about everything.

Deep and rich renderings of early 20th Century life for Swedish farm immigrants in Denmark.

A great performance (Oscar worthy) for Max Von Sydow.

A brilliant kid as Pelle (also Pelle) who has to find his own way in life after learning a lot of lessons (good and bad) in a few years on the farm.

It is a big 5 out of Netflix5.

Extra ordinary film.
