The continuing saga of the Nilssons - husband and wife Karl-Oskar and Kristina, their several young children with another on the way, Karl-Oskar's younger brother Robert, and some of their extended family members such as Kristina's Uncle Danjel - and several of their Swedish compatriots is presented. This phase of their story begins where their saga in Utvandrarna (1971) left off, in the fall of 1850, having just arrived in Minnesota from their native Sweden to begin what they hope will be a better life. They left Sweden because of the harsh and worsening conditions of their farm life, and chose Minnesota based on the stories of many of their Swedish friends who emigrated there before them. While Karl-Oskar goes through the process of setting up their homestead, eighteen year old Robert already has bigger dreams of striking it big in the California gold rush, something he is reluctant to tell Karl-Oskar until he is ready to leave if only having been under Karl-Oskar's guardianship and Karl-Oskar perhaps thinking him too young, impulsive and thus foolish. His plan is to go with his best friend Arvid, the two of them who would take the steamship down the river to St. Louis, from where they would walk the rest of the way. Also reluctant to say anything is Kristina, who can't help believe they made a mistake in leaving Sweden and their known life. Karl-Oskar and Kristina go through a series of highs and lows in their new life, some related specifically to being in Minnesota at this point in time, such as dealing with Indians and the imminent Civil War, and not knowing the language, and some related to their general life regardless of location, including Kristina's feeling of her role in the family. Robert's California tale is also told, he who returns back to Minnesota with a bagful of money four years after leaving, but who looks a little worse for wear.
Leave your thoughts about The New Land.
| CineVueChristopher MachellNowhere has the experience of European emigration to America been told so forcefully and definitively as in Swedish director Jan Troell's duo, The Emigrants and The New Land. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickTroell shows us the human face of the ordeal, balancing tragedy with comedy and intimacy with scope in a way that few filmmakers have accomplished. |
| User ReviewPrzemek DIt's criminal that the uncut version hasn't been released in the US. Don't judge the movie by the shortened US version. |
| User ReviewAndreas MKanske världens bästa film! Varje sekund är magi! |
| User ReviewScott RYes! This is true cinema, hard, broad, realistic and naturalistic. Great follow-up to the Emigrant movie and really powerful in making it all look so real and honest. Every piece of real life is shown here in a pure sense. |
| User ReviewGreg Wreally good sequel to 1971's 'the immigrents' |
| User ReviewAugustine HJan Troell's sequel to the extremely successful The Immigrants, The New Land starts where the previous film ended, where the swedish immigrant Karl Oskar (Max von Sydow) and his family goes further than any one to get the best piece of land. And it's there our friends decides to settle for the rest of their lives, but Karl Oskar's young brother Robert (Eddie Axberg) wants to go to California to join the gold rush. Every one seems to enjoy themselves in this "new world" except Karl Oskar's wife Kristina is homesick, as she tends to hold on to the tradition while all the others integrates and begins to speak English. I really did love the first film, but this chapter isn't that great compared with the first one, it's some times a little boring and I would have enjoyed to see more of the English influence to hear the main cast speak some English. But besides that it's a good film, with a lot of great images and wonderful music. It got all the things that The Emigrants have, except the epic scale. Thumbs up. |
| User ReviewByron BThey forced us to see it in school, good, because it's a good movie - Max von Sydow is perfect in his role. |
| User ReviewAnna NWe were forced to see this in high school. |
