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.

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.

Thought-provoking and intelligent drama

A wonderful story by Knut Hamsun, set in a small coastal community in northern Norway.

The people are a bit rough, but among the hardship of every-day life and the pragmatism and cynicism of the powerful are the strong emotions and tender warmth of the not-so-powerful. And hopes and dreams. And surprises.

I feel sorry for the earlier reviewer who was forced to watch this movie in class. It's an important movie, and it is also very fun and quite full of energy and spirit, but anything can be a pain if you have to do it against your will. I would recommend trying this movie again when you are older and have the time. You will enjoy this movie once you start to appreciate the intricacies of adult life. That's a promise!

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.

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).

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.
