- THE EMIGRANTS and THE NEW LAND, the incredible pair of films made by Swedish director Jan Troell in the early 1970s, remain two of the most authentic and powerful cinema portrayals of the mid-nineteenth-century wave of emigration from Europe to the United States. For our release of these films, we were fortunate to have the chance to speak with Ullmann, who recounted her experience making the film. In the clip below, watch the actor reflect on Troell’s filmmaking genius, as revealed in one the film’s most poignant scenes.
An incredible film series, not just for wonderful Ullmann and Von Sydow, but also heart-wrenching but brilliantly controlled performance from Eddie Axberg.
Beautiful, sincere and tender Liv Ullmann. What a beauty she is.
when I was a Child I saw these movie together with my parents and it is still in my mind. Very touching and hartbreaking one. loved it!!
I watched this as a child in the70s. My grandmother grew up in what I called a Swedish Colony, the community the Territory of the Dakotas before it was a US state. I was shown the newspapers written in Swedish my Great Uncle kept until he died at age 92 in 2010. My grandmother and her siblings could read those newspapers. I do not know if they could speak Swedish but they could read it.
These movies are based on the 4-book Emigrant series by Swedish Journalist, Vilhelm Moberg (1898-1973). I've read the series three times. Highly recommended reading: "The Emigrants"; "Unto a Good Land"; "The Settlers"; "The Last Letter Home". Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Moberg was born not very far from where I live.
On it. Thanks
I was six years old when I saw these movies. They made a big impression on me. I still remember many scenes.
God, my ancestors came from norway and I can only imagine what she describes mist be what they saw as they left, almost makes me wanna cry.
I married into a family whose great grandfather came from Sweden to the USA. At that time a Swede had to ask permission of the King of Sweden to emigrate. Their ancestor didn't do that. He just came to the USA with 10 dollars. He was an illegal emigrant. They worked hard in the fields, and the second generation were Americans. They still worked hard in the fields. By the time of the grandfather they owned a great deal of property in Illinois and became rich in the years before 1929 world wide depression, when they lost everything. They then moved to Calif. and worked hard and saved and had a very fine house by the 1970s.
Your great grandfather was not an "illegal immigrant" no more than my Canadian great grandfather was an "illegal immigrant" when he came to the U.S. with money in his pocket and settled in northern Michigan and entered into the logging industry........There were no immigration laws when yours and mine great grandfathers and their family came to the U.S. in the 1800's......
Think the "illegal" part of that comment is a TALL TALE. My Grandparents too came from Germany and Sweden. We have good records they all came in through NYC or through Quebec and were well documented. Even though the "Know Nothing" party was heavily opposed to the Irish immigration, after the potato famine, those folks too, were all "legal" and had papers.
Here's some info on the Irish ...From 1820 to 1860, 1,956,557 Irish arrived, 75% of these after the Great Irish Famine (or The Great Hunger, Irish: An Gorta Mór) of 1845-1852, struck. Of the total Irish immigrants to the U.S. from 1820 to 1860, many died crossing the ocean due to disease and dismal conditions of what became known as coffin ships.

@@SA-rb5xq If you wish to bring semantics into your argument, then "Immigrant " is the proper term when used to identify someone entering the United States, illegally or not.........An "Emigrant" is the term used to identify someone who has left their own country for another.........Nice try.
Liv Ullman and Max Von Sydow in two of my all-time favorite films...
Wow. She sure managed to make me want to see these films.
The Emigrants it's a truly beautiful film
The Emigrants is a Swedish film based on a novel by Vilhelm Moberg. It is about Swedish emigrants who came to the United States in the 1850s. Max von Sydow is Karl Oskar. Liv Ullmann is his faithful wife Kristina. The film shows the harsh conditions in Sweden, the agony of an ocean voyage and the promise of a better life in Minnesota. ABBA's Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus turned the novel into a stage musical. Swedish folk music!
Jim Colyer That is so obvious... You should feel ashamed of yourself
Troell's films should be shown to every high school student. BTW, the scene in the current film The Revenant in which Leo carves open a animal carcass to stay warm was borrowed from Troell.
which of his films?
In terms of being educational, 'The Emigrants' (1971) and its sequel 'The New Land' (1974) would be so great for all high schoolers to see. As for the cow slaughter scene, Max Von Sydow's character and his young son are caught miles from home in a sudden blizzard in TheEmigrants. The father sacrifices his beast to save his child from freezing; it's one of those moments in a film that takes your breath away. I think a similar scene can be found in the StarWars entry from 1980 'The Empire Strikes Back.'

thank you sir!!
+2Majesties or maybe he saw it on discovery channel, bear grylls does that with a camel, and he also eats raw fish using that same technique lol
Nah. From Vilhelm Moberg.
I think it's nice that there was a Norwegian actress in this movie as well. Since the story is equally true for the people of Norway!
Yes because she was married to the director
@@Dds123-l3z No, this is not a Bergman movie. Also she never married Bergman, they have a daughter though.
This story is the story of so many Scandinavians of the upper Midwest.
She's so great in everything she does, but The Emigrants/The New Land might just be her (and Max von Sydow's) best work, which is saying something.
Love this film!
I drive by the Karl Oskar and Kristina statue along Highway 8 in Lindstrom MN every day
Liv Ullmann aged, but she is still splendid!
Fantastic clip!
I'm a delivery driver for FedEx in Center City MN and I know the PRECISE location where Karl Oskar and Kristina's farm would have been. It looks EXACTLY like the location they used for the film.

The New Land is on TCM tomorrow night.
Nitpick. Your channel doesnt have an icon image anymore so it doesn't look very official
Liv Ullmann did not read the book, Karl-Oskar is 24 years and his parents are over 50! They were much younger then she is now!
Natasha Sannino But being fifhty in that time was being very old, thing that was represented in the movie. Also, in the book, Kristina died as an older, wasted, tired woman, and she was 36. In one word, they get old really fast.
At that time a poor hard working man or woman was worn out at the age of 50
Up until the 20th century most people didn’t live that long.
Film... Värkligheten.. En annan sak
And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.
And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful." (Q.S.. 59 : 9-10)

Norway might be even shittier than Sweden, unless you live from the ocean.
