Til Sæters
''Til sæters'' (To the Mountain Pastures) is a Norwegian silent comedy film from 1924 directed by Harry Ivarson (his first Norwegian film). He also wrote the screenplay based on Claus Pavels Riis's 1850 musical ''Til Sæters: dramatisk Idyl med Sange'' (To the Mountain Pastures: A Dramatic Idyll with Singing). The plot of the musical was very thin and mostly served as an excuse to link together various dance performances accompanied by well-known Norwegian folk melodies. Ivarson therefore added more people to the story and a little more intrigue, but retained the basic mood of the musical. ''Til sæters'' is an example of the folk romantic film genre that was popular in Norway in the 1920s. Filming The filming took place in Øystre Slidre and at the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History at Bygdøy. Plot A widow on a large farm has two daughters she hopes to marry off. Ragnhild, one of the daughters, is intended to be married to the village schoolmaster, but she is in love with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
