The veteran Swedish director Jan Troell, aged 77, is a five times Oscar nominee whose best-known films are The Emigrants, The New Land and Hamsun. Everlasting Moments is proof that in old age he has lost none of his humanity.
This is a tender, mildly affecting story, set in the early years of the twentieth century, about a brow-beaten working-class wife (beautifully played by Maria Heiskanen, pictured) who discovers a talent for photography.
Even reduced as it has been for a British audience from 131 minutes to 111, It’s slow-moving, low-key and too uneventful to please the masses.
No one could ever accuse Mr Troell of being a barrel of laughs. Still, his taste for elegiac contemplation and determined avoidance of the expected narrative paths make this an art-house collector’s item that will reward the patient and sensitive.
