Event Description

Girl with Hyacinths

1950. Sweden. Written and directed by Hasse Ekman. With Eva Henning, Ulf Palme, Birgit Tengroth. Ekman’s favorite of his own films, and an enduring classic in Scandinavia, Girl with Hyacinths examines the mysterious suicide of a young woman (Eva Henning, Ekman’s wife at the time) through a Wellesian multiplicity of points of view. Visually striking, with extreme long takes and images that drift into a dreamlike surrealism, the film reveals its secrets with grace and sympathy, moving toward a final revelation that seems at least a generation ahead of its time. In Swedish; English subtitles. 89 min.
