52 (46.0%) give this film 1???


52 (46.0%) give this film 1! I don't believe these are honest votes. This film is a masterpiece and any silent film buff would appreciate it.

Who released it and where can I get it? And what films are in the box?

Thank you! Great that Körkarlen is finally out on DVD now! I'm not a big fan of Erotikon but all the other ones are good.

Matti Bye's music scores are usually high quality. I wonder if he managed to improve Erotikon. The score on the American DVD practically killed that film. I have never heard a comedy score by Matti Bye, so I'm interested in hearing that.

To me, Victor Sjöström overacts a bit in Terje Vigen. That's why I don't think it's his best, but it is still a beautiful and impressive film. What did the people who gave it a 1 expect of it?

I don't know, but I am reminded of one person who made a comment on The Outlaw and His Wife, which proved that he expected this 1918 film to have the same dramatic structure and ideals of feminine beauty as a modern film. These films are nearly a century old, and you have got to take that into account when you view them.

I think they have aged well, in spite of some dated acting. They have a unique mood, and visually they are amazing. But one must be prepared for that they are different.

Then again, I guess some people just didn't like it.

Terje Vigen is supposed to be released by KINO on July 29 along with The Outlaw and His Wife and Ingeborg Holm.

I agree. It's a scam.

I must confess that, from the double-feature Kino DVD, I liked Ingebor Holm much better, but I would hardly give A Man There Was 1. It deserves at least 7,5, IMHO.
