| Very long epic film, some versions last about 3 hours. A former priest (Hanson) and his relation with a married woman (Greta Garbo). This movie got good reviews and brought the attention of german-french director G.W. Pabst. In those times Mauritz Stiller was the most famous movie-director in Sweden, his work was admired in the States too. Swedish directors were the first ones to screen the real nature (fire, mountains) without using studios. |  |
