	Jan Troell - Films as director:, Other film:
		Troell's first projects drew upon his experiences as a boy and later as a teacher in his native town of Malmo, in the southernmost province of Skane.
		Particularly successful, in the opinion of Peter Cowie, was Troell's ability to convey "telling images" of loneliness and despair in the parks, docks, and streets of Malmo.
		Troell's best films are concerned with people who measure their dreams and test their characters against the hostilities and vicissitudes of weather and landscape.

	Jan Troell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Troell (born July 23, 1931 in Limhamn outside Malmö, Skåne län, Sweden) is a Swedish film director.
		Troell's major work in the '70s became The Emigrants (Utvandrarna, 1971) and its sequel The New Land (Nybyggarna, 1972), two epic films about some peasants emigrating from the barren Swedish countryside to America in the 19th century.
		Once again, Troell films were based upon the novels of a Swedish working-class author, in this case Vilhelm Moberg.

		Troell can share his in- tensely personal emotions with viewers in a meaningful way because his emotions point to the essence of what he is address- ing in his film.
		Jan Troell's Sagolandet ("Land of Dreams") is one of these new documenta- ries, and in less than ten minutes it com- pletely surpasses any expectations one might have for a 185-minute documentary about life in modern-day Sweden.
		Troell protests that the long record of human violence against nature has in turn dehumanized humans themselves, and the film yearns for a "Land of Dreams" that would encourage exploration of indi- vidual potential rather than stifling it.

	Hamsun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		All politics, Troell recognizes, arises from the basic political units of the couple and family.
		The sad lives of Hamsun's spoiled and neglected children may be given short shrift, with the emphasis on his alcoholic daughter Ellinor (Anette Hoff), but few films have captured the subtle manipulations, deceits, sacrifices and betrayals of two damaged people in such a long, mutually destructive relationship.
		Troell seems dangerously close to a misogynist interpretation of the events, blaming the downfall of a great but deluded man on the machinations of a wicked, self-serving woman.

		Troell's epic film, more than 2 1/2 hours long and infinitely absorbing and moving, is based upon "Upon a Good Land," the best-selling series of Swedish novels by Vilhelm Moberg.
		Troell is considered perhaps the best of the post Bergman generation of Swedish filmmakers; like his contemporary Bo Widerberg ("Elvira Madigan," "Adalen 31") he has a feeling for the historical past, and for the meaning and beauty of ordinary lives.
		Troell, in turn, has found the perfect casting for his emigrant couple in those two splendid Swedish actors, Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: The Promised Land
		With painstaking care and Iyric skill, Troell traced the slow dissolution of the family's way of life in rural Sweden, the unrelenting sequence of deaths, injuries, famines and persecutions by which they came to know that their life there could not go on.
		Troell presents a lavishly detailed social portrait of the immigrants at work and at rest, lingering over universal moments of human experience--the birth of a child, the marriage of a friend, the death of a neighbor.
		Troell's flair for faces shows poignantly in the aged, starving Indian women begging a scrap of meat from a frightened, guilty white woman.

		Case in point: Swedish director Jan Troell's superbly crafted bio-pic of Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian novelist Knut Hamsun.
		Opening in 1935, Troell's film focuses on the last 17 years of the writer's life, when Hamsun profoundly tainted his reputation as Norway's greatest living novelist by becoming an outspoken supporter of Adolf Hitler.
		While Troell may not specifically intend to rescue Hamsun from his well-deserved ignominy, excuses and explanations are nonetheless kept readily at hand.
