MONICA
HAMSUN
(Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Germany, 1996 160 min.)
During
World War II, Norwegian Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun
openly supported the Nazi party. When Norway is occupied
by the Nazis, Hamsun (a towering performance by Max
von Sydow) urges his countrymen to lay down their arms.
Considered a traitor by his fellow Norwegians and rendered
more and more isolated in his political dealings, Hamsun
loses sight of the consequences of his actions. Director
Jan Troell (Il Capitano) has created a controversial
drama which explores the intricate relationships between
art, personal history, politics and love.
