Sinekatalog’s take
Jan Troell's coming-of-age saga follows a boy in northern Sweden who leaves home to work as a lumberjack, projectionist and farmhand. Eddie Axberg is excellent in a rich, lyrical and humane epic with Gunnar Björnstrand.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
