What The Emigrants Is About
Over three hours long, and half a story: in nineteenth-century Sweden, Karl Oskar and Kristina work a farm that yields more stone than crop, and hunger and religious pressure push them to leave for America. Most of the film is the journey: months under sail, sickness, death, the smell of the hold. Reaching Minnesota does not end it; the continuation, The New Land, was made the following year, and the two are one narrative. Troell directed and shot it himself. It presents emigration not as adventure but as exhausting and lethal work.
