It follows the first book in the trilogy very faithfully. Many scenes were actually just as I had imagined them while reading the books.
The photography is breathtaking and the sets amazing. According to scholars of fourteenth century Norway, the attention to detail in depicting every day life and customs is very authentic.
The costumes are beautiful and the actors, without exception, perfect for the parts. We were riveted!
Buy the DVD with the uncut version and extras. Definitely worthwhile watching more than once... or twice... or thrice....!!!
I hope Liv Ullmann will film the other two books as well. And soon!
Don't miss this remarkable movie.
