Pelle the Conqueror [SEP] Critical reception
"Pelle the Conqueror" was released to critical acclaim in the U.S. Roger Ebert gave it three and a half stars, comparing it to Jan Troell's "The Emigrants" (1971), saying Max von Sydow's Oscar nomination was "well deserved" and the novice Pelle Hvenegaard "never steps wrong." Vincent Canby, writing for "The New York Times", called it "a vividly re-created, minutely detailed panorama of a particular time," and said it was a "scandal" that Von Sydow did not win Best Actor at Cannes. Peter Travers, writing for "People", said that Von Sydow exhibited "wrenching simplicity and power," but the film "is maddeningly mediocre." Swedish director Ingmar Bergman told August he saw the film seven times, subsequently choosing August to direct the film "The Best Intentions".
