Swedish Films - Swedish Films
Georges Sadoul and other film historians around the world have defined Swedish films by their Nordic "mysticism." Leslie Halliwell has rephrased it as "romantic pessimism." In any case, this tendency was first made known to the world by Victor Sjöström (The Girl from the Bog House, 1917, The Immortality of the Soul, 1920) and Maurits Styler (A Snowstorm, 1919, The Story of Gösta Berling, 1924), who transformed the novels of the Swedish female author Lagerlöf, which are characterized by a subtle interweaving of legend and reality, into "moving beauty of form," marking a glorious page in the history of silent films.

ジョルジュ・サドゥールをはじめ,世界の映画史家がスウェーデン映画をその北欧的な〈神秘主義〉によって定義している。レスリー・ハリウェルはそれを〈ロマンティックなペシミズム〉と言い換えているが,いずれにせよ,そうした傾向は伝説と現実の微妙な交錯を特色としたスウェーデンの女流作家ラーゲルレーブの小説を〈感動的な造形美〉に転化したビクトル・シェーストレーム(《沼の家の娘》1917,《霊魂の不滅》1920)とマウリッツ・スティルレル(《吹雪の夜》1919,《イェスタ・ベルリング物語》1924)によっていち早く世界に知られ,サイレント映画史の輝かしい1ページを飾った。
