Great photography, interesting characters!

Set against the beautiful backdrop of northern Norway, this film tells the story of a telegraphist in a very small community at the turn of the century. Bjørn Floberg does an excellent job portraying the main character, looking like he's having a good time. The other actors are also very good. There is a lot of interesting personalities living in this very small township, where a factory producing fish-glue is the only major industry(!). The movie invokes a great feeling for the period, and the cinematography is beautiful. This is a very lyrical story.

Nothing Wrong With This Film

The other review shows what happens when literature is assigned in class.

I saw this film in a Hamsun retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and in this context it seemed reasonable, charming, atmospheric and well-photographed. Maybe even delightful. And I've been to this part of Norway, and enjoyed that, too.

Sure glad no one forced me to watch this film in school. This way I really enjoyed it. I wish it were available on DVD in the US.

Decent adaptation of great book

I loved the book (maybe it gains in translation....) and thought this a fair stab at transferring it to the screen. I imagine Hamsun is a tricky author to adapt. Gustavson does manage to capture some of the whimsy of the source material; however, Hamsun is not all sweetness and light, and I think the director finds it harder to tap into the darker side of some of the characters, Rolandsen especially. Good performances all round, though, and beautiful scenery (unless you're Scandinavian and bored with that sort of thing).

Absolutely terrible!!

"Telegrafisten" is one of the worst movies that I`ve ever seen and this is how Norwegian movies mostly are: pis# poor! The movie is based on a poor book, has a poor script, bad directing, terrible actors and a totally uninteresting story taking place on a small island in the northern part of Norway. We were forced to watch this crap at school last year, and I recommend all of you to steer clear of this guff.

A patient and beautiful love story

Telegrafisten is one of my favorite movies, and is nearly as charming is the story upon which it is based: The Dreamers, by Hamsun.

Be patient as the story unfolds. A philosophical and rurally romantic story unravels that, in the end, is very rewarding.

I don't know how it holds up dubbed or with subtitles. I've only watched it in its original Norwegian/Swedish.

Anecdotes
For the scene where Rolandsen has deserted to live on the uninhabited island, trained sea lions from a company in Switzerland were freighted in water tanks to the location in Northern Norway. On the day of shooting, the sea lions didn't want to come out from their water tanks to do their part. The entire crew and actor were on stand by, waiting for the sea lions to become familiar to the environment so they could shoot the scene. The sea lions never came out and they had to send them back home to Switzerland. A couple of weeks later, trained sea lions from a company in Belgium were sent to the same location to do the scene, hopefully with a better result. The sea lions trained in Belgium didn't have stage fright so the scene could be successfully done.
