Rating:  - Karl Oskar and Kristina från Duvamåla
I only saw the Swedish version (the whole series) and I am aware that some of the movie was cut. However, I believe I still have something to say.
This movie is based on a novel by the Swedish author and historian Vilhelm Moberg. The novel is based on his research and is therefore very realistic and historically accurate. It is depicting the experience of Swedish emigrants in the 1840's or 1850's. The main characters are Karl Oskar and his wife Kristina but there are also many other ... Read More
Rating: - Truly a 5 Star Movie
I saw the movie in English when it first came out and it is one of my favorite movies of all times.

I just loved the movie and I found it melancholy and very moving. You feel as if you are living with them. I would like to add it to my collection to watch over and over through the years.
Rating: - Region 2 DVD is now available, but only with Scandinavian subs!! :-(
Such a shame, there is now a restored version available but they didn't bother to make it available to the rest of the world.
Why do they do this? Wouldn't they get back the investment of the restoration quicker if everyone could buy one????

Rating: - Utvandrarna
I bought this video for a research paper I was doing on Vilhelm Moberg, author of the four Emigrants novels. At any rate, I consider it a testament to the achievement of the Swedish actors that their performances managed to carry feeling, tension, and a spark of humanity although their voices had been taken away. I can't stand dubbed voices, so this is saying a great deal. At any rate, this is a fine movie, telling a fine story (read the books!), the only reason a star is missing is for the dubbing.
