Seeking Opportunity in a New World
“The Emigrants” / “The New Land” traces a Swedish farming family’s voyage to America in the mid-19th century and their efforts to put down roots in a beautiful but forbidding new world. Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann star as Karl-Oskar and Kristina, a couple who encounter one physical and emotional trial after another.<br /><br />To support their growing family and their parents, Karl-Oskar and Kristina live a hard life in the Sweden of the 1840s. Winters are brutal, harvests are often ruined by drought, and Karl-Oskar’s plow repeatedly breaks. The marriage is not exactly blissful, either. Karl-Oskar dreams about going to America, where he’s heard that everyone owns vast, fertile lands.<br /><br />“The Emigrants” is a trilogy: the departure from Sweden, the voyage overseas, and the journey to and settlement in Minnesota —“The New Land.” Though Minnesota’s winters and summers are more extreme than Sweden’s, the immigrants are rewarded for their hard work. They live a better life than they did in Sweden. Bad times also come. The Civil War begins and the Sioux Indians rise up against the white settlers.<br /><br />Director Jan Troell tells a universal story of the immigrant experience by focusing on a single family. He is especially effective at showing the culture shock faced by the newcomers, their gradual acclimation to American life, and the ways in which they deal with unforeseen hardships. Both von Sydow and Ullman capture the uncertainty of what to expect along with hope that this new young country will offer them a more fulfilling life.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include a new introduction by theatre and film critic John Simon; new conversation between film scholar Peter Cowie and director Jan Troell; new interview with actress Liv Ullmann; “To Paint With Pictures,” a 2005 hour-long documentary on the making of the films; trailers; and a critical essay. Both films are in Swedish, with English subtitles.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : This monumental mid-nineteenth-century epic from Jan Troell (Here Is Your Life) charts, over the course of two films, a poor Swedish farming family s voyage to America and their efforts to put down roots in this beautiful but forbidding new world. Movie legends Max Von Sydow (The Seventh Seal) and Liv Ullmann (Persona) give remarkably authentic performances as Karl-Oskar and Kristina, a couple who meet with one physical and emotional trial after another on their arduous journey. The precise, minute detail with which Troell depicts the couple s story which is also the story of countless other people who sought better lives across the Atlantic is a wonder to behold. Engrossing every step of the way, the duo of The Emigrants and The New Land makes for perhaps the greatest screen drama about the settling of America. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES- New high-definition digital restorations of both films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks- New introduction by critic and Swedish-film expert John Simon- New conversation between film scholar Peter Cowie and director Jan Troell- New interview with actor Liv Ullmann- To Paint with Pictures, a 2005 documentary on the making of the films, featuring archival footage as well as interviews with Troell, Ullmann, producer and coscreenwriter Bengt Forslund, and actor Eddie Axberg- Trailers- New English subtitle translations- PLUS: An essay by critic Terrence Rafferty.
